Reply #43: Adoption is so difficult that almost nobody can actually do it. I've seen that up close.

My sister and her husband tried for years. They spent tens of thousands of dollars and went through unbelievable heartbreak.

You make very valid points about social exploitation, but where does one stop with that line of reasoning? What about coal miners, timber-cutters, fishers and roofers? Those are all very dangerous and sometimes fatal pursuits which mostly involve more labor than skill and are generously compensated because they are dangerous. Most of the persons filling those occupations would otherwise have less economic opportunity and accept the risks in order to make a better life and provide for their families.

All monetary systems exploit. What do we do? Get rid of money? I'm all on board for that myself, but I don't know how we do it.
