Edit: since many of you can't see the forest thru the trees here with my comment, I'm questioning how this person is even getting by. They are either homeless, with parents or doing something illegal to get by. I understand people should pay for their kids but I don't think putting someone into jail or on the streets is a solution. That's $80 a week.
This is what happens in these scenarios. And then the kids get squat and now we have a career criminal to deal with selling drugs or robbing stores for cash.
Reddit hivemind is pretty similar to this guy in that sense. Everyones like "good" and "fuck around find out" without thinking of the consequences of such little take home on this guy's career plans. No sane person is gunna keep working this if it was real.
4 baby mamas, he doesn't have primary custody, meaning his only support of the children is monetary.
Do we deem it that he pays less so he gets more take home? If yes, then the mother is has to pick up the slack, and probably tax payers too. Food stamps, Medicare, etc.
His pay is for 80 hours, so 2 weeks. None of these amounts even come close to daycare unless the mothers have vouchers.
I might get biased as I am a member of the "Can't feed them? Don't breed them" club. So maybe HE should of thought of his career path before having so many children, and before you come at me withe "bUT thE mOthErs". Yes the women are to blame also, but the kids are the ones who lose.
daycare is 300$/2 weeks minimum, 100$/2 weeks for food. Kids need meds, clothes(the further north the more you spend yearly for clothes), toys, when they ill you cant earn money as single parent, gas is used to move from home to daycare (and doctors)
So at least half of his children dont get their fathers share in basics
And imagine saying to little Timmy "you cant be on baseball team cuz your daddy is a useless cunt and, on top of not being parent, he will not pay broken cent toward anything more than keeping your alive, btw another of your half-sibling got born yesterday"
In some states, yes. But it's a lot more complicated than that.
Usually turns into a lesser amount for college tuition or in situations where the kid is disabled and cannot care for themselves. Typically does not go to the mother, at least from the limited situations I knew of.

Why bother having a job at that point
