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 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"....
