Vance claims people would have more kids if it wasn’t for car seat laws.

This sounds made up and smells like it came from somebody's ass:

@Lulz4l1f3 That guy has a cushion fetish and I ain't kidding.

@Lulz4l1f3 And when is Vance having another child should always be the next question.

@Lulz4l1f3

And what was the source for that bit of wisdom?

The American Undertakers Association?

@Lulz4l1f3 It's from a 2020 paper by a couple of professors that is supposedly upcoming in the Journal of Law and Economics, which is associated with the University of Chicago Law School. I don't think it's been published, yet, and I'd take a skeptical eye towards this kind of research. (No, I haven't read it.)

I've seen it referenced by the MisesInstitute, which is pretty fringe right.

@Lulz4l1f3
Wait. He said "Of course I want kids to drive in car seats"?

Wouldn't that also reduce the number of kids in the country?

@Lulz4l1f3
Sounds like another case of correlation does not equal causation (best case scenario).

@Lulz4l1f3 They might _produce_ more children, but they won't _have_ as many.

@Lulz4l1f3
Okay, I looked this up because Vance is constantly throwing out crap with no source. There was an actual study (see link in next post) which basically says that couples hesitate to have 3 kids in car seats because they can't afford the larger car that would require.

Most critics see this study as correlation; causation hasn't been proved.
In any case, "American families aren't having enough children"?

@Lulz4l1f3 I guess that an absolutely stupid man can only think that other people's motivations are just as stupid as his own... This is a downgraded version of the quote: "Great minds think alike"...but here we can only say "Stupid minds think alike"....
