They want to push the poorly planning and impuslive type over to have a kid. Any reasonable person knows that $5k is NOTHING these days, especially in regards to a kid.
It's just another sign on why governments around the world (yes, it's not only the US) get pushier about people having kids. They need their cheap factory drones. Their working class. They don't care about what enviroment these kids will grow up in. Now the way technology is going it is becoming less and less important to have an educated workforce. That's why you see cuts in education everywhere. Educated people are a hassle.
You see, the thing with AI is that while it makes big strides, it will take a long, long, long, long time before AI will live in anything except a server somewhere. It won't be able to do manual labor in a practical way for decades. These are just limitations of the physical world - power supplies, etc.. It's not easy or cheap to build a robot. It's impossible to build a robot with any kind of human-alike dexterity and flexibility. This just won't happen even in mid-term.
So the factory drones that get born will have put a screen in front of them from the get go, will get used to AI deciding everything for them. People will work in factories with an AI manager looking over their shoulder 24/7 and just telling them what they need to do and know. Maybe even make a game out of it with rewards and everything. These people basically will not know what they're doing, they'll just follow AI instructions, also making them completely replacable. Amazon warehouses already have worked that way for a while and it is very efficent. Every mid-level job that needs some education is usually not bound to the physical work and in the fantasy of these psychopaths, will be done by AI directly. The high level jobs will be reserved for the elite.
That's the world we're going towards, fun isn't it.
