Babies

Public Square is a conservative company promoting conservative businesses and they have announced that any employee who has a baby or adopts will receive a $5,000 bonus. This is significant in ways other than the obvious political. The birth rate in the US has dropped to the lowest level at 1.6 where 2.1 is needed to replace the population. Other companies pay a bonus to those who have abortions since they see more children as a threat to the climate but they turn away from the threat of not having enough people to replace those who are dying. One of the real joys in life is having a child and that is now frowned upon. If the world would turn to nuclear power, having babies would once again become one of the joys in life. It is sometimes difficult to understand what is happening to society.
