Raising a child costs between $13k[2] and $35k[1] per year in the USA – depending on where you live and who you ask.
With a minimum wage job ($7.25/hr) you need to work about 5 to 13 hours per day to make that much – before taxes.

Memes have become a sort of coping mechanism/method of communication, and it just reflects the the broader state of the world around them.
Places like Lemmy have becomes bastions for people to share their thoughts and opinions, because the overwhelming consensus is the acknowledgment of being helpless and this is a way to vent and share (what should be) obvious solutions to the problems we're facing.
Sure, we go out and vote and talk to friends and family about the things we can do to make change, but we're not in the class of people to make that change happen.
So I say fuck it, post away the neo-nilhism memes, I'll upvote em and laugh away the enormous issues the world has.
