The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

But I believe the Trump Administration’s plan to encourage (white) childbirth was “giving them a medal”. that should do it.
In 45 states child care for two kids costs more than a mortgage. In 49 states child care for two surpasses what families pay in rent.
Average Child Care Cost for a Baby Exceeds In-State College Tuition in 41 States
And in most states, child care for families with two kids costs more than a mortgage or rent.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.
