Low birth trick question.

[Bystander50]

Yes, free education. Something I always advocate. Less scam and more manageable than free health care.

 

Especially up to Poly or JC.

 

And also free innoculation jabs for the baby.

 

All the incentives given so far only solve the short term problems. For the baby bonus, only a fixed amount is given to you FOC, the other portion the parents have to contribute then the gov do a $ to $ matching up to $10k.

Parents from the not so well to do families would have problems in raising the amount to get the extra $. Why can't the gov be generous and give the full $10k without any conditions attached?

 

And ask any new parents, how much can the $10k last?

Why ppl here like to drift here and there, rather than just give the frank and straightfroward answer to TS post?

 

The onlyanswer to the 'trick' question ( if it was ever a trick in the first place) is...

 

MONEY!!!!

 

Or rather the lack of it and the ability to make more of it, here in Sinkland for many Sinkie commoner!

 

Not enough money how to feed more mouths?

 

talking about money is so crass!

You ppl still don't get it right?????

 

It is not supposed to replace the shortfall. Look at it from another angle.

 

The real objective is to keep our economy running. A bigger economy means more revenue.

 

If we ran out of human battery, the machines will die off. It doesn't matter how long FT will stay, in fact if they don't stay all the better.

 

No need to worry about an aging population cos they will be long gone. New hopeful will just fill up the numbers again, and these are the actual ones that will be contributing to the growth.

 

Their only usefulness is when they actually worked (cheap labour) and pay the taxes. Imagine a corporate with no pension scheme.

 

 

hmm... 1st time came across such theory. somehow agree with wat u said, especially the last part "a corporate with no pension scheme"
