      I know you were half joking but for everyone else here complaining that 5k ain’t shit (I agree, it’s not), it’s because the incentive is not for you. It’s for rich people (read: rich white people, since poverty disproportionately affects non-white people).

      5k might not mean shit to you in trying to raise a child but for someone who already has the means to have/raise a kid, it’s actually bonus money. That’s the incentive.

        They are rich, why would they have a kid over snack food money?

        Supposedly they’ve done the cost benefit analysis, so this wouldn’t even appeal to them, less so even…
