Would you like extra fries for a dollar more?

No, but how much for the kid?

Uhhh... looks at her age

UHHHHHHHH

The child looks about two but the fetus gestates for 9 months, this woman likely got pregnant at 14 and gave birth at 15, that rarely happens for consensual reasons, so I'm pretty horrified.

babies having babies ๐Ÿ˜”

I've seen this personally here in Georgia, and I mean more than once.

it takes a village to raise a child...

it takes a Corporation to exploit a family for their personal gain.

Capitalism equals a miserable life for most people, we should free ourselves.

[โ€“] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

but for many (and we know who) your misery cancels out THEIR misery.

as long has YOU are suffering more than they.....They win. which is why "Owning the Libs" is to them desirable. and a sufficient reason for self harming behavior.

it is an insane point of view....but there you go.

We live in the wealthiest nation on the planet in a technologically advanced civilization.

Everyone needs to understand things are only still this absurd because we allow a small percentage of people to live better than any kings from the past ever lived off the backs of the rest of us. Hording the vast majority of our wealth.

We absolutely have the means to prevent people from having to take their kids to fucking work with them but we choose to let billionaires do things like dismantle our government and destroy our international relations instead.

I like that "it takes a village" means bringing your child to work, and not having the support to either have someone/some facility watch your child if you chose to work, or having actual paternity leave. Nor does it mean being paid enough that if you had to just not work, you and yours wouldn't be in the street.

How inspiring.
