We are sending more foster kids to prison than to college

Almost everyone is just one job loss away from being unstable. If you have kids then it's 10x more likely. What you're suggesting is just impractical.

Even the professional classes have instability issues. E.g. just look at how stable a high flying banking executive was in 2008. Or tech workers in the 2000s.

We should make it cheaper to have kids, rather than expecting people to wait until they're millionaires.

Agree wholeheartedly. In addition, young parents have lots of advantages over older ones which we miss if we wait until career 100% sorted. The sleep deprivation alone would have been much easier in my 20s!

I edited my comment, I think it may clear up what I mean.
