    14 hours leaves you barely 2 hours of personal time in a day. That’s barely enough to just eat and maybe relax but then if you have 3 kids even that time is gone taking care of them. How and why would anyone put themselves through this, like after the first or second kid wouldn’t your own limits become apparent

        Yeah didn’t think about that but that’s probably another 2 hours of energy spent on driving, because everything is spread out and there’s no good public transportation options outside of specific areas

      Some people find themselves in places where they lack the choice to limit themselves to two children when an accident happens. Not everyone has the resources to travel to a place where they would be able to make a choice.

        What, are you using the word places as a metaphor or literally, cause I’ve never heard of a location where you have to have more kids than you can afford, other than maybe villages where kids are seen as free labor

          Currently, in the US there are States were you can get an abortion and States were you cant. So, if you have an unplanned pregnancy you are kind of fucked.

              If they are following the usual timeline, that’s another 4 years until a world war, and then another 6 years until someone drops a bomb and ends everything.
