It's also important to note how corporations have increased their stranglehold on working Americans to where many people have 2 jobs or more, several people are working FULL time past retirement age, and we have to deal with stagnant wages.


All of these increase difficulty not only for parents spending time with their children, but also for their "community" to have time available to help raise the child. We're going to have to work harder than ever to create a positive environment for these kids.

I always said that we need to buck back against these evil corporations that demand more from workers, with no extra pay.

That is also why non immigrants that are educated, stopped having kids and plummeted the birth rates.


Different topic, but it's up to workers to ask for more pay. When you go on a job interview, what salary do you ask for? Is it random? Or do you take into account experience, living and costs?

You're absolutely right. That's why I'm rooting like hell for these auto workers to have demands met. Because what they achieve will become the standard across the board. Shorter work weeks, higher standard pay, better benefits, etc.

In the meantime, I'm staying close to family. I can help when I need to and get help when I need it.

I go into interviews asking for at $4-5 over my current pay rate. Any opening that’s offering less than the median rate in my area gets bushed immediately. I got a pretty good job rn that pays pretty well, so I’m not pressed to be hired by anyone anyways.

Start a family with a woman that you aren’t even willing to give your last name to brehs :mjlol:

Y’all actually thought this shyt was going to last? It never does. I have never seen an unmarried couple have a child and that relationship last more than 5 years after birth. Getting a woman pregnant without wifing her up is clown shyt, IDC what nobody says.

The exact same thing can be said about the woman, if not more.

And you’re right.

This is utter nonsense. It’ll have no impact on her marketing.

My issue is with the causal way people have children outside of marriage, with men or women they have no long term investment in. Having a baby is a life changing, massive journey. Why would you agree to do that with someone who hasn’t even committed on the most basic of levels - marriage. End of the day she’s rich and will be fine. Cordae will be fine. The baby will be fine. But this is happening to far poorer, far less stable people every day of the year and the babies don’t end up fine.


:mjlol: just say you hate me and we can fight it out. You didn't refute anything I said. She won't get the prime endorsement spots and now she's a baby mama. They aren't going to parade her in front of white, asian, and hispanic families in advertising.

Name one woman celebrity who has lost endorsement potential due to being a single mom in the last decade. I'll wait. Nobody cares about that.

When it comes to winning advertisers, few athletes have the pull of tennis aces Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams. The 24-year-old Osaka has more than 20 corporate partners, making $58 million before taxes and agents' fees over the last 12 months from brands including Nike, Mastercard and Louis Vuitton
:mjlol:

She's gonna magically lose that (or potential new advertisers) because she's a single mom in a country full of them? What are you talking about.

Ehh she may not lose them, but she may not be prioritized as much anymore because she won't be as heavily marketable to young girls and their parents as someone like Coco Gauff. And I'm sure this situation isn't helping with Naomi's mental health struggles that made her take a break from the tour before getting pregnant. Now she has to bounce back both physically after giving birth and mentally.

Edit: Also, Naomi may be vulnerable because a lot of her endorsement value comes from being heavily marketed in Asia, specifically Japan, since they don't have many top global athletes. Kei Nishikori, a Japanese player on the men's tennis circuit, made $32M in 2020 despite never winning a grand slam. The only men's players that made more than him that year were the big 3 (Federer, Djokovic, Nadal). Single motherhood is viewed negatively in Japan so Naomi could be risking her endorsements.

How do you break up before the babies born. What a piece of shyt, if true
Man I see this shyt all the time in this current era of relationships on IG. The women be having a solo baby bump photoshoot with some corny ass caption like, “me and you against the world” or some shyt like that, and when the baby comes, no pics of the BD. This era is the worst
