France should provide free condoms for people below 18yo as well to help manage child pregnancy

@kreyren

Nothing is free. The cost just gets passed down to you.

@kreyren

Higher prices make ordinary life difficult to afford. It's an endless cycle: more free stuff, more money needed.

@amerika The cost of that is economically sustainable last time i checked

@kreyren

Only by skipping investment in the future. Rotting infrastructure, high debt, weak armies, etc. are the signs.

@kreyren

Everything seems in bad straits because all of the money is gone.

Where did it go?

3/4 into free stuff to citizens.

@amerika bullshit, france is giving out free condoms bcs of the raise in STDs

Less people with STDs -> Stronger economy

@kreyren

Not necessarily. Depends on who the people getting STDs are.

In the meantime, not giving out free condoms and not savaging the economy with high front-end costs would get you a stronger economy.

@amerika it's not high cost the gov can make those in economically-efficient way through sourcing latex and manufacturing them

@kreyren

They are going to buy from the lowest bidder then, when those fail, buy from the market leader (these may be rebranded to hide the cost to consumers).

@kreyren

Expanding on this...

"Freedom" means "duty."

The more we do for people, the less they do for themselves.
