We have something known as “WIC” (Women, Infants and Children) that you gotta apply for and it barely covers shit. You gotta be making less than poverty wages as well.
In my cashier job, you would not believe how often I’ve had to refuse the sale on shit like baby formula and juice because WIC seemingly randomly decided to stop covering it. This week, they might cover juice concentrate. Next week, they may only cover juice and not concentrate. Who knows!
In Gaddafi’s Libya, they paid women who had children.
They do that in a lot of neolib countries currently too. In Ireland it’s known as “Mickey money”. Do they not have this in the US?
