J.D. Vance says that people who don't have children have no stake in the future.
Yet he's a Catholic: a religion headed by *checks notes* a childless Pope, and run by *checks notes again* thousands of childless priests. (Well, supposedly.)
And wait, news has just come in that Jesus, the man whose teachings Catholics claim to follow, was yet another man who (according to their own orthodoxy) had no children.
Childless people have no stake in the future.
Shouldn't he convert, or something?
@anport This is why they pay me the big bucks.
@bodhipaksa you should write an essay on this topic for the NY Times 👍
@anport Funnily enough, I have written an article I plan to submit to the NYT, but I need to spend a bit more time editing it before I send it in. They'll reject it, of course, but after they do I'll submit it to other newspapers.
@bodhipaksa Cool! I hope it gets a lot of readers and give some perspectives to those who actually read it and sit down and reflect
@anport Oh, screw that! I just want to be rich and famous! 😉
No, really, it would be good to reach more people and sow some seeds.
Sadly, the chances of publication are close to zero.
@bodhipaksa Just write “by George Clooney” at the bottom. 😀
