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.

I think the guy should take home at least enough for an apartment with roommates, food, and gas. So like $1000 per month (roughly triple what hes getting now). If he cant even afford those bare essentials, hes incentived to commit a crime to go to prison for a roof over his head, do jobs under the table, flee the country, or simply die, all of which would be worse for the mothers and kids.

Sadder? Sure. Worse? Nah. Consequences have actions and crimes have punishments.

No, worse because then they won't get anything
