If You’re Too Busy

The government is so desperate for babies, they're willing to pay you $5,000 to have one. That’s right, those headlines you’ve been seeing about the American government coming up with increasingly questionable incentives for women to get pregnant aren’t a fever dream. It’s a very real update on the current state of affairs, led by “The Fertilization President” Donald Trump. Yes, he really called himself that. 🤮

In an effort to boost the American birth rate, everything from baby bonuses to menstrual cycle classes and motherhood medals (which traces back to Nazi Germany) has been pitched to Trump aides. Everything except universal healthcare, paid parental leave, and subsidized child care. Hmm… something doesn’t add up. 🤨
