And you just demonstrated the mindset of the GOPe. Having a child with your wife is now, "knock up some harpy because I couldn't keep my pants on". Yes, nice.
And you might notice that the article is about those people NOT spending money they don't have. They are doing without.
People with a smidgen of ability to plan ahead don’t get married and start making babies before they have a means to support them. I grew up in a single wide trailer and my dad had a fifth grade education. Even he knew enough to tell me not to get married until I had worked out how to support a family. And most people who are so poor don’t get married, shacking up and knocking up are part of a lifestyle that keeps them on the bottom.
You make monumentally stupid decisions and the universe is not going to drop everything to come rescue you, especially if you keep doing it. No one can save you from yourself, and giving you an EBT card only finances your ability to destroy yourself.
But even someone in this situation can get out if they are willing to 1. show up to work 2. do what they are told and 3. learn. But you expect that these people will show up on day one knowing nothing and be paid like a skilled worker. If you require businesses to pay skilled worker wages they will only hire skilled workers.
Minimum wage means there is no market for what you are able to do. Keep jacking it up and there is no reason to hire someone to do it. Businesses will just give those responsibilities to their skilled workers. Rather than hire a janitor, they will have everyone take out their own trash and rotate cleaning the toilets. Rather than hire movers they will ask people to move themselves. Minimum wage increases always increase unemployment.
