"Hard working families" is political virtue signaling. It's the idea that families have children and children are the future so kinder über alles! The flip side of that is the moralizing that single people without children are selfish wastes of a life. There's also this nonsense about how if someone doesn't have children they are somehow less virtuous and/or a sad person who has missed out on ever knowing the unconditional love of being a parent and grandparent. In that vein, don't get me started on the grannies and their insanity around grandbabies. Personally, I knew I was never going to be able to give a child he kind of life they deserve so I chose to not bring a life into this world who I couldn't afford to provide for. I also find other people and their children to be generally awful and wouldn't want to inflict them and their BS on my child. Finally, the fact that the single best thing someone can do to help fight global warming or climate change or whatever we're going to call it played a part in my decision as well. And me -- I like the silence. I'll get down of my soapbox now - thank you.
