Pete Buttigieg on "childless people Have no stake" in the country (The Vance guy)

[question everything]

He was interviewed by Jon Stewart and said that he was, of course, childless during his military service but certainly had high stake in the future of the country.

Really good interview. I hope that someone will post the clip.

5. When I first heard Vance's comment, reminded me of all the times women used to be called selfish

for choosing not to have children.

6. All those decades I paid property taxes in

Texas so that other people's kids could go to school, and I have no stake in this country?


Edit: My eldest cousin was correct when he told me a half century ago that he wasn't going to have children because he didn't want to make servants for rich people.

7. People are going insane for Pete. Just listen to that crowd!

8. It was also interesting that Vance singled out AOC, Harris and Pete as childless

Pete and his husband have 2 kids, Harris 2 step kids, and AOC is now 34 with plenty of time to marry and have kids.

Not to mention, deciding not to have kids is a choice, a very personal choice that should not be made by others. (Consider if authoritarian forces made the choice, would they choose to let the son of an addict, with 2 violent grandparents, one also alcoholic, procreate?)
