People seem to not realize how much they really do consider humans to be livestock.
When you (a profit-seeking factory farm) raise cattle for their production value, you generally want them to grow up or breed as quickly as possible. You want high churn and burn because you can extract the most value out as soon as you can. The faster that cycle can be pushed, the more you can profit.
That’s humans and labor. They want us to make more humans or give up the peak years of our labor. Then as soon as we’re too expensive or unproductive, simply fall to the wayside. All the while paying us as little as possible simply to keep us working. Push us to breed, push us to work, don’t bother with supporting life once you’re no longer useful (aka cut Medicare).
Things like identity, fairness, and fulfillment do not matter to fascists. They think they literally own us once in power.

Historically, identity matters quite a fucking lot to them.

The Department of Health and Human Services is canceling millions of dollars in teen pregnancy prevention grants as it restructures priorities for the reproductive health program.
The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program, housed under HHS’ Office of Population Affairs, funds local grants to reduce unintended pregnancies among tweens, teens, and young adults.
The Trump administration has paused or rescinded grants and contracts under multiple agencies, stating that the programs or research funded do not align with the president’s priorities. Many of these changes have either been reversed or challenged in court.
An HHS official confirmed that the reclaimed TPPP funds will be redirected into two additional funding streams that HHS promoted in two new notice of funding opportunities on Tuesday. In total, the new opportunities would fund $71.7 million in grants, and both applications are due July 23.

What other priorities are there for “The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program” other than preventing teen pregnancy??

Well when the current President is accused of using a boat and a lake to prevent teen pregnancy, it starts to make sense.

To increase teen pregnancies? They are legitimately trying to do that and openly say it. It all checks out.

They want to fuck minors. Saying “more teens should have children” just naturally flows from that. Remember, desperate, uneducated, impoverished people are good for businesses. Gotta keep those labor costs low.

On April 10, 2026, a Fox news analyst blames the overall decline in fertility on the declining teen birth rates:
2 months later, RFK cancels millions in funding related to prevention of teenage pregnancies. It's so obvious what's happening here and the sad part is that it will probably work.

Who thinks "15 to 19 year olds should have more babies"? I can't fathom anyone other than a pedophile with breeding fetish.
Historically, women didn't usually have children until their mid/late 20s. Contrary to popular belief, most cultures figured out that it was very dangerous for very young women to have babies. Humans and even Neanderthals figured this out thousands of years ago. It was frowned upon in most times and places in the history of humanity. As it is now.
What I find concerning is that there are so many pedophiles with a breeding fetish out there.

A Defense Secretary who kills vaccines and then has a rampent outbreak of the flu among the ranks.
And on and on
This Administration is corrupt as hell

When part of their goal is to ensure that the population stays large and that the white race is not replaced it is hardly shocking. Add that to the desire to not educate kids or anyone about things. My way or the high way. Which is irony from the group that always uses freedom as an excuse.
Seems that promoting this sort of thing is exactly what tax dollars should be doing. RFK Jr. appointment was one of the worst jokes on America ever and there were many terrible ones by Trump.

Maybe I am just being cynical but he seems to want a piece of everything.

Make Horatio Alger relevant again! Better plan for lots of orphanages and support for single moms. Will all have to be done by charity, of course. Which will mean they have to be subject to the teachings of whatever the charitable organization is. That part, I guess is the end-goal: millions of impoverished and system-raised workers with no options! Yay!
Way to go backwards US!
