I sometimes wonder if any of you were ever thirteen.

Suggesting that the majority of teenage pregnancies are planned actions designed to milk the government for subsidies that actually only pay a fraction of the costs of raising a baby and aren't profitable to the teenager is rather laughable.

The fact is the vast majority of teenage pregnancies are unplanned. Blaming socialism for teenage pregnancy due to subsidies is pretty laughable.

The science in this area is actually pretty woeful because game theory assumes all actions are planned and all agents act in their own best interests which is a terrible model of reality, people do stupid and -EV things all the time. After all insurance is inherently minus EV and hence not in ones own best interests in a game theoretic sense, yet people buy it en mass.

In fact, I think we should consider the fact that Keynesian Economics suggests the problem with the environment is that no one actually owns the air. After all why shouldn't someone own the air, and charge me for converting oxygen to carbon dioxide by breathing. Maybe we all shouldn't have the right to breathe unless we can pay for it. Killing off those who can't afford it to avoid increasing C02 seems reasonable after all :P
