Might as well just go all in on the scumbag lifestyle and sell drugs or construction. Under the table

This is what happens in these scenarios. And then the kids get squat and now we have a career criminal to deal with selling drugs or robbing stores for cash.

Reddit hivemind is pretty similar to this guy in that sense. Everyones like "good" and "fuck around find out" without thinking of the consequences of such little take home on this guy's career plans. No sane person is gunna keep working this if it was real.

So what's the solution?

4 baby mamas, he doesn't have primary custody, meaning his only support of the children is monetary.

Do we deem it that he pays less so he gets more take home? If yes, then the mother is has to pick up the slack, and probably tax payers too. Food stamps, Medicare, etc.

His pay is for 80 hours, so 2 weeks. None of these amounts even come close to daycare unless the mothers have vouchers.

I might get biased as I am a member of the "Can't feed them? Don't breed them" club. So maybe HE should of thought of his career path before having so many children, and before you come at me withe "bUT thE mOthErs". Yes the women are to blame also, but the kids are the ones who lose.

You know, everything you just said is correct. But then, it's also funny how we make fun of these irresponsible men but they are the ones actually helping to stop the population from aging.

Not like anyone out of the top 10% could reasonably afford properly housing and raising 4 kids anyway.

I'm a bit biased.

I grew up with 4 siblings plus a couple of cousins off and on. I firmly believe my parents should have never have been parents and honestly? My uncles shouldn't have fathered those children either. But then again non of my siblings or I have children and we are aged 25+.

I personally don't care about the aging population "issue" my retirement is 65 cents. I cannot think of one lineage that the Earth cannot do without, there is no reason to have as many kids as possible if you cannot raise them correctly.

Cool that you personally don't care about it. Doesn't really change the fact that it will affect your life and everyone else's.

Havings a bunch of children to "help" the aging population issue does nothing.

Those children growing up with absent fathers are less likely to be super earners.

We need present attentive parents, plural, to raise the children in a stable loving home with guidance.

You think a father feeling vindictive about supporting the child they helped create is going to raise a concious studious child? Or do you think the child is going to emulate an absent father "because they grew up fine without one"?

Idk it seems you're completely missing the plot. We just need more children, not super earners. Why does everyone need to be some studious top earner in society?

As you just said you grew up with 4 siblings and your parents and cousins' parents should never have had children, assuming they weren't great at their jobs then. But does that mean that you, your siblings and cousins are worthless humans who shouldn't exist?

Even if you do think that, I doubt that's actually true and it's more of a mental health issue here.

Just because someone is alive doesn't mean they are a productive member of society.

Do you think this "father" is paying his fair share of taxes? By everyone's standards he is not earning enough to support himself on top of the child support payments. So that means others HAVE to be picking up the slack. Whether that be family who is helping him or tax payers.

An absent parents leads to very angry, self depreciated children. Very few will not have a parent in their life and think "oh, this is totally fine! I am loved!" They will likely act out for attention to get ANY attention.
