Then you have people in tornadoes and earthquakes and hurricanes who go from one minute to the next abject poverty through no fault of their own and perhaps can never get it together again. Then you have people living under dictatorships and tyrants who do not Foster an economic environment in which people could actually thrive and so those people to the tune of tens of millions or let's say hundreds of millions in the cases of China and India have no hope of ever getting out of poverty. Now for you to say they should stop having children really doesn't do much for the situation because they are already living on two pennies per day and even if they had no kids would still be in abject poverty with no way out we are talking about hundreds of millions of people here. It's not about them being on their toes
This is actually a thread about life expenses in the UK. A place where they give you benefits if you genuinely cannot work or temporarily lose your job or have a baby etc. It's not like China.
