  • Oh, my.

  • Like, I was right.

  • It's literally like, you want to have a kid?

  • Well, you're on your own now.

  • Well, you de-incentivize people

  • from having kids like that.

  • You de-incentivize poor people from having kids,

  • because if you're rich, you can obviously

  • I know.
