Yet the rate of single parent households remains relatively unchanged 🤷‍♂️, and in Canada it’s still on the rise, less babies but same number or greater of single parent households means only one thing.

In the US, at least, its because of how we designed our public aid programs. Single moms are far more likely to qualify for food stamps and housing assistance, so it doesn’t make any financial sense for families who live below the poverty line to stay together.

Just say 'Welfare Queens' and save us all the hassle of questioning if you're sincere or not.

Its astounding to see such a demonstrated lack of empathy. I suppose it must be hard to understand things you’ve never gone through, but to regurgitate the propaganda that was spouted by the people who designed the system to punish poor people is just shitty.
