Obviously stay married in a conventional marriage. But none of my ideas will see the light of day. The liberals hate them because it means more (high-quality) kids, the conservatives hate them because it means more big-government.
So we watch our society, and country, wither on the vine, until it is too weak to defend itself (30 to 50 years hence). It sucks, but that WILL BE the inevitable outcome (to borrow some words from the old Star Trek).
People don’t like your ideas because they suck.
Let’s flip this around. What if you were to give money to husbands for every child they had.
