In the bible, in the new testament church, qualification for leadership positions (office of elder and deacon) required among other things a well-run home. Paul the Apostle says: who if he can't run his own home is qualified to look after the house of God? We should hold our public officials to the same standards. Want to see how a man leads? Look to his wife and children.
We are the battlefield. We are the mountain. Man is both marble and sculptor.
It's multifactorial. There are plenteous government and establishment media psyops interested in taking way focus on future, freedom, and progeny. You are being deluded into believing that children are thieves of joy, when in fact the opposite is true. Our ancestors knew better.
Then there's the fact that reproduction and family-raising right require tremendous moral compass, power, and self-controlled committed action. This is far more available and thus more common among religious conservatives. Psy-op'd people are more inclined to think instant gratification and absence of pain is the way to happiness. That's animal-like.
For the modern person it's safer in many ways to decline to take a risk unless an individual and their monogomous partner (husband/wife) can be trusted to keep their word and faithfulness through thick and thin - a trait that's in high demand and low availability today. Who can find a noble woman/man worthy of this commitment and investment, to carry and bear their children?

Charity is rooted in the Greek word 'charis', translated directly grace. The meaning of the word conveys a gift or kindness that wasn't at all deserved or earned. Unfortunately, our own common perception of the word is influenced by our contemporary Western exposure to its uses: socialistic government efforts, the formal work of NGOs, celebrity ego-inflating philanthropy...
It's truly an investment with a great return. Corporate zaps are a corporate Bitcoin marketing no-brainer. β
We're in trouble even if we get the federal conservatives next time. The best they intend will only put Canada's demise in stasis for the length of their term.

Bitcoin's fundamentals enable us not to fixate on money.
Without it, we're trading our time with the state with diminishing returns for a unit of value they can print out of thin air. The funny thing is, Bitcoin is such a revolutionary fix that it's worth quite a lot of devotion to discussion, propogation, and thought! So here we are thinking about money again.
But truly, sound money frees us to think about things other than money. Let's set an intention to practice that freedom allowed and live our lives by what matters and is right and lasting.
1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs
