Picture of the Day: Korean Parents Receive Monthly Government Stipend to Boost Birthrate
A notice on the payment of monthly benefits to parents with infants aged 0-1 is posted on a community service center in Seoul on Jan. 25, 2023. The government introduced the “parental pay” to support such parents and encourage child births amid the country’s low birthrate. Parents with children aged 0 and 1 receive 700,000 won (US$568.18) and 300,000 won per month, respectively. The pay will increase to 1 million won and 500,000 won next year, respectively. (Yonhap)
WTF is wrong with Korea?
– Korea needs fewer, not more people.
– This type of program encourages the poor, uneducated, short-term thinkers, and other undesirables, to have babies. Korea needs even fewer of these as the global tech situation RAPIDLY moves toward robots and AI replacing warm bodies.
A useful program would be to offer 500/month for a year to get permanently sterilized. That would be a good program in America, too.
Clearly, I am going to need to have a talk with the Ministry of That’s the Next Generation’s Problem.
They have no new ideas and are just trying to copy Xi copying Mao.
My wife and I were talking about this-back after the Korean War, people were living on the edge of starvation, and just barely ekeing out a living, and still people had loads of kids. Now, in a prosperous, modern country, no one wants to have a baby.Go figure.
16 years later …
“I just wanted the money … I never loved you.”
An entire “백만원” generation. Talk about unintended consequences.
Don, in the past, you needed lots of kids to work the farm and take care of you in old age.
Now, unless you dress them in rags and put them down by the train station with a can, they serve no financial purpose.
Kids are now a vanity project.
…unless you are on welfare or an illegal alien.
In that case, they make a lot of financial sense.
I see that the Setnaffarians don’t want the Korean race to procreate and want to see the end of the Korean race.
More proof that the Setnaffarians, having failed to overthrow the legitimately elected government of Joe Biden, now want to redeem themselves by destroying Korea on behalf of their Russian and Chinese masters.
Don’t worry, Korean Person, it isn’t just Koreans.
Whites, Asians, blacks, Latins, and assorted tribesmen all need to reduce their populations…
…and maybe even go extinct.
Korea will be just fine with 25 million of the smartest citizens and a functional medium-sized mammal habitat and population.
At least you are doing your part… population reduction through homosexuality.
Good job.
…is how it seems we got our chinabots…
After having fathered an unwanted child in Korea, I got on the next plane out to avoid responsibility and paying child support. It was during this time of flux, that I met a Russian goddess who seduced and convinced me to join the Soviet cause. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, I was lost until Putin became Russian President and later installed his super agent Trump into the US Presidency. I then found my calling, specifically the establishment of a cult to spread fake news and conspiracies in order to keep his opponents off guard and him in power. It didn’t work out so now we have turned our attention to Korea.
setnaffa’s life story in a nutshell 😀
Some folks really seem to have Daddy issues… Pretty sad…
I can truthfully attest that there are no little setnaffas out there. No matter how much KP wants to find a real man knocked up his mum, it was not me. And I never had any interest in Russians, unlike pretty much every leftist I’ve met.
I’m sorry our chinabot doesn’t know who his father is; but I’m guessing the dude’s still driving a lorry in Sokcho.
Ah setnaffa
You are reacting to what I said.
Which means what I said is indeed true.
