That is fair snd I was being hyperbolic bodhi but in those flourishing societies, people, especially women and childrenx were treated as commodities precisely because gauranteeing the survival of your offspring was that much harder

Crystal ball is forecasting lots of tigers, meth, gay sex, and country music. Not sure if good thing or bad.

How is this smart? You're like "Omg we're starving and I'm too lazy to do something about it" but when it comes to your wife or kids getting sick you're just like YOLO LOL just because you're feeling feisty? This is making you sound dumb.

Most of the poor have several reasons not to file or just plain cant.
Oh so because you feel so downtrodden you think that's an excuse to act like you're owed something. "When the world goes to shit I want your necklace bitch! I'm gonna be a bandit so I feel tuff!" Grow up dude. How is this defending people 65+? Do you know how to think?

So sit in your house that's probably 3-10 times the size of mine and wait for us to eat the rich OR make it right. I dont want your underpaid job for the already dead. I want justice.
All you're doing here is saying poor me. You admit you have a home. Stop being a big fucking baby. You live in America.

"Let's put this burden on the shoulders of the young." Okay grandpa, get to work! Us young guys need to relaaaax, Frankie. Fucking LOL. Do you know how things work?

Women still die in child birth in developed nations. And it's more often poor women. It's an access to quality healthcare issue.
Having millions of young women die for no reason doesn't seem like a good idea. And as usual it would be the poor people who suffer most. The rich could just have their children in a country that isn't inhumane.
But ya know killing off poor people has been a plan proposed by some to end poverty.

Feed them to the hungry and you solve two problems at once.

That being said there is an issue with how poor people are treated in our society that is exaggerated in times like this.
When I was homeless I depended alot on the kindness of strangers and being able to use public restrooms to go to the bathroom and clean up. With everything closed and people being afraid to be near to people it has to be making it alot harder on the homeless.
And homeless shelters are not set up to limit the spread of infectious disease. And rarely are nice places to begin with.
And unemployment is largely handled by the state, not the fed. I know a woman in MI that doesn't qualify for unemployment because she didn't make enough. You're too poor for welfare

You're insane.
Do you have any idea how many women would die of something as routine as childbirth without medical services?
You do realize that people die for reasons other than COVID19?
Oh no 
You realize every one of your ancestors was successful at passing their genes down? And that there's been no hospitals for 99.99% of human history
Kind of a fallacious argument since obviously they did otherwise you wouldn’t be here, hindsight and all that. But the survival rate of humans pre hospitals was far worse. When you compare the amount that made it with those that didn’t the argument falls apart.

It’s an incorrect solution for a number of reasons but it’s usually an argument posed by the rich to avoid having to sacrifice their wealth.
