'Octomom' Nadya Suleman eyes an 'empire' -- but first, bankruptcy
This article makes me wonder if there is some validity to the notion that a single mom with 14 kids and no steady income might have difficulty paying the bills.
“Octomom” Nadya Suleman filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on Monday in Orange County, suggesting there’s some validity to the notion that for a single mom with 14 kids and no steady job, it can be difficult to pay the bills.
Oh oh. There's a snark glut forming. I'm either going to have to up my game or cut the price of my free service just to compete.
She rose to fame in January 2009 as “Octomom” when she gave birth to octuplets, who joined the six kids she already had. All of the children were conceived via in vitro fertilization.
We need to encourage more of this. That's 14 more homes that must be sold someday! Everyone needs a place to live and they just aren't making any more land!
As an added bonus, that's 14 more people who will also someday help pay for my Social Security!
What's the worst that could happen?

ReplyDeleteyeah, I look at the generation the millennials are raising -- the baby boom echo echo -- and just have to wonder, and sorta think my continued investment in Japanese language proficiency might still prove to be a good idea . . .
Not counting immigrants, there are now ~76M youngsters age 0-18, the same demographic peak we hit with the original baby boom in 1965. And this might surge to 82M by 2030, 87M by 2050.
Total working age population (18-60) is ~215M now, in 2030 it will be ~230M, and 2050 around 270M.
So we're going to have the bodies at least.
15M more workers in 2030 is a 1M/yr add-in, what the economy has to grow above and beyond everything else.
(We will see the 80M boomers leave the workforce by 2030, but the bb echo is the same size so there will be no net space made for Generation Z with that generational transition.)
Not really sure what all these people are going to be doing in 2030, but they better be staying off my lawn.
Troy,
