You absolutely don't need an acre to raise a kid, but I don't think people can raise kids as well today as they could 40 years ago because the world is falling apart from capitalist greed.

I mean, I can't imagine telling a survivor of the Great Depression "Yeah, sure, have six kids. Now's the time. Because in a century we're going to have cheap energy and enormous food surpluses and highly advanced industrial machinery and we won't be book-ended between World Wars or have a smallpox or syphillus or polio epidemic."

Like, sure, fuck capitalism. But we've had capitalism for 400 years.
