The Times is going bankrupt—while showing more ads to more readers than ever before. Computer games are the latest cultural form to benefit from the collapse of the old categories of high- and lowbrow.
Of all classic capitalist problems mass unemployment has probably been the one to trouble living Americans least. Wilma hit Miami in the middle of the night, and by the time I woke the city was silent. The Mexican mode of governance transformed our slang into a grammar of shadows. One suspects a preexisting need to make food more interesting than it is, more beautiful, more strange.
Punk promised physical violence, a buzzing charge, like the wish that someone would hit you in the face. Issue 9 Bad Money Available Now. Or sign in and read it now. And I would add that I was involved in public relations for Three Mile Island after the accident," said publicist Mike Furtney, who quit representing Suleman after receiving death threats.
Lest anyone forget, the Three Mile Island accident of involved the partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor that for a time threatened to prompt the evacuation of a wide swath of Pennsylvania. Not that Suleman is the first person to go radioactive overnight. Don't forget O. But as pop culture historian Leo Braudy points out, Suleman has never been accused of killing anybody.
People would say congratulations. Of the nearly 50 Suleman discussion groups found on facebook. To be fair, there were also a handful of pro-Suleman groups, although the "Leave Nadya Suleman Alone" one had only 61 members on Monday compared with the 3, people who had joined the "What Nadya Suleman Did Was Totally Wrong" group. Although never venerated as a candidate for mother of the year, Suleman was, for about two days after the Jan.
John quit working years ago, Kate got a free tummy tuck, John got free hairplugs. And they themselves say all these trips, the housing, hotels. They just moved into a home worth over a million dollars, and then there is health care. Kate tours the country speaking at churches and groups for very large sums of money for each engagement. Everything they have is paid for by TLC and the companies that show them at resorts and the places they visit.
When they fly they have their own plane with all the camera people and their kids and whoever else goes. Kate says the cameras are in their home days a week all day long. The show is on every week, and their are reruns on constantly running hours at a time all week long.
They have made millions and million off of this show. But why is this ok for them and not Nadya? No they look good on TV, perfect family, and guess what, we the public is paying for every single cent they make.
If 2million people would give her 2 dollars, hardly the cost of a cup of coffee she could have a decent home and money for a long time to care for her kids. EVeryone says the kids are going to have all these diseases, and what about college. But most have already condemmed her. She has had death threats, and even threats about her children. Some are good but others are people just making money taking in children, but not caring about them at all. And there are a lot of people in this country that commit welfare fraud, and keep having kids just to get more money.
None of us are perfect, and the worse people write about her, the more they are trying to make themselves feel better, hope it works for you. If you have no means of supporting the child ren , then you should not plan to get pregnant until such time as you can provide a means of support.
But it ends up becoming my business when the parents decide to withdraw their support, resulting in their child and grandchildren needing taxpayer dollars.
Octomom is surely expecting to make some money from selling various media rights. The allegation is that her children will grow up to be net tax consumers. Good point Bryan! Apparantly it costs a significant ammount to go through the IVF process, so the question is, why not spend that money on the kids she already has? Her prioritys are off suggesting a mental disorder, and that will affect her care of these kids.
Plus her protests of innocence to the charges of seeking notoriety ring hollow and disingenuous. If she admitted to wanting a reality show, this honesty would go a long way to quelling the controversy. In most but not all regards, children scale well. Raising 10 kids is not more than twice as hard as raising 5, because the older can take care of the younger. A multiple birth event, however, puts extreme strain on the mother, the children, and the ob-gyn. Five children at once is a lot harder than five children serially.
Eight even more so. The heaviest child was 3 pounds 1 ounce. That would require exceptional intervention even in the case of a single birth. Again this understandably leaves a sour taste in many mouths, mine included. These small irritations add up.
Why I dislike her: 1. Six kids is more then most people can afford so why would she HAVE to try to have another. In the last 5 years it has been going up each year and since I have belonged to Kaiser since I was 24 there is no way that I can get insurance anywhere else because of medicial problems but I am tired of paying for other people also and then having to pay with taxes for the same person again because I live in CA. It sure is not right. I will not be able to pay for insurance much longer and am not sure what I should do.
All of my life I tried to put a little money aside for a raining day and never thought that it would have to go for insurance because of people that keeping having kids and to think that these were not accidents and that she paid to have all of them so I think that since she could do this then she should pay for her own children and insurance herself.
Seems fair to me and all of the other people that try to do the right thing. Email the webmaster econlib. A valid email address is required to post comments on EconLog.
