Why do people like having kids that they can't afford to raise?

[Anonymous]

it seems to me that its always the average joes or poor people who love having more kids... that they know they can't afford to feed or raise or send to college. Then the rich people are the one who have the fewest kids, the LEAST kids. Yet they can afford to have so many more. But they chose not to do so.

why do poor people love having so many kids?

then when they can't feed their kids... they guilt trip people that the government won't pay for their SNAP?

Either they are bored and so the opportunity to make them is there, or the more they have the more subsidized. true in USA.

Reality is, a lot of humans don't think and plan. They are driven by hormones which bias their thinking. Maybe it's lack of education?

Have you ever seen the movie idiocracy? You should watch it! Its really funny

The movie starts off as smart people care and worry so much they wait till its to late in life and end up not having (many) kids. While dumb jocks and shallow women dont care and fuck like bunnies. Making lots of kids

Hence we pass on idiocracy instead of intelligence.

Maybe they are having kids in the hope the government will give them some benefits

In the US? Why are people paid so poorly? In other developed countries they support children -- education and medical care are provided for everyone, children are fed at school, etc.

Sometimes you can be a victim of circumstances.

Condoms are cheap. Even medicaid covers birth control. No excuses.
