How much is your children worth
- in total and
- per hour?
Since people are measuring everything by hours I assume this also kids (even if they are not quite working yet- do you value your kid financially (done calculations?) and how much government value them you think?)
Interesting replies can be below !
(Also I don't mind whatever currency you want to use.
This question also points to the mistake or absurdity of valuing children when they are and even as absurd to sell ourselves and time, rather than spend it with people we like on projects we like also.,

Agreed. Often I consider the opposite for those that will use money as a kind of 'just go with the flow' idea (similar to what I was saying in another post about shitposting seemingly working better in many ways though it's not obvious at first and at least achieves x y z whereas we others are quite static / comfortable / too polite perhaps)
So the opposite or discomfort would be dealing still with money (had to convince my fingers to actually write that) but increment and increasingly more and more work in-house and live in-house unofficially !
Minority is still large enough to generate money to backup some causes (churches especially collect and could do something ... but where does it go and how bold are they?)
So what to do with it anyway other than feed people for the cause and re-cycle all that internally?)... so yes pay forward and build bridges ahead of time or just viral people since multi-work is one idea for cheating the mono-work type culture which pays more often...
and also hitting in one hard punch if we can't sustain something more amicable...
So more on that idea below not to distract but really seems well - original:
If we simply had a few rich among us umbrella us an 1 house as a kind of do-or-die production (live together, be political in many ways, produce anime / cartoon / voice-overs / mini films, everything we can) then yeah just maybe something comes out of that... but basically pots of money to 'buy' some people time and get out of renting individually (donations burn too quickly) and those richest (whoever feels like it) basically give it since they are quite comfy or 60+ already and realise they will die soon!
(it is hard to give it away but death help you part with that quicker)..
Finally, back to what you said: I agree children have more potential in many ways. Just implementing after imagining it is the hard adult part perhaps.

The concept of monetizing/objectifying people goes back millennia. Further support for such concepts will only hinder progress and overly complicate matters that can be easily resolved by following commonly touted principles that supposedly aim to go in the other direction.
Depending on where you go and from you who ask- you would get a relative value based on factors included in the assessor's perspective.
Generally speaking, I find that children have more potential(not actual) in contributions to the species than adults do- whereas the actual/potential is reversed with age. Though it's my biased belief that most of not all of adults never actually fully utilize their potential - most for sure never realize their own by time it's over for them anyway.
