*Imaging how many kids I would have if there wasn’t so many car seats to fuck*
IT_Geek_Programmer on
I actually would not feel safe having a kid in my car IF THERE WAS NO CAR SEAT. Vance is now just saying anything that comes to his mind, even if it is something stupid.
mangoserpent on
I say let the man talk, keep on talking, and talk some more.

And somehow Vance is still the smart one on the maga ticket.
ranchoparksteve on
The pattern is obvious. Vance really obsesses over all the many things people sit on. It’s his fetish.

So we’re moving from couches to car seats now…got it.

It’s like this guy watched old episodes of the Colbert Report to prepare for life as a politician. Don’t think just say. He is full blown satire at this point.

What a weird dude.

I have a feeling that Vance doesn’t give two shits about his mixed breed kids or non white wife.

At first, I thought he was just another Dan Quayle, but I’ve come to think of him as a real piece of crap. In the end, even Dan Quayle did the right thing.

he just cannot help being bizarre, can he?

He’s right. We were going to have another child, but when we realized it meant another car seat, I got a vasectomy.

Calling this fool dumber than a box of rocks is an insult to a box of rocks.
Federal_Drummer7105 on
If you look at the study, it’s a correlation not causation because car seats were mandated in the 1980’s.
But the results show that people are choosing not to have kids at all – just not to have a 3rd child. So let’s see – why by 2000 would people choose not to have a 3rd child?
What else happened since 1980 to 2000 that would account? Turns out – teen pregnancy rates dropped. So someone who went from one kid in their teens and two more in their 20’s only had two kids in their 20’s.
So what is Vance is really a proponent of isn’t “oh no evil regulations that make people decide not to have kids.” He’s promoting teen pregnancy.
What a creepy weirdo.
2020surrealworld on
So…he’s what, saying car seats or safety devices like belts “cause” low sperm count or sterility in children?
Yale Law must be brimming with pride.🥹🥲👏
New_Highlight7003 on
I mean, if someone is that opposed to car seats, isn’t it better if they don’t have children? Why would we want to encourage people to have children if they’re not even willing to provide for their basic safety needs?
Asleepingin on
this guy is way closer to the presidency than any weirdo should be
tfly212 on
Why isn’t more attention being paid to the fact that with an unhealthy 78 year old candidate at the top of the ticket, this clown has a pretty decent chance of being president in the near future if Trump wins????
Normally the VP isn’t a viewed as that important… But this time… It really is.
madmadamemim24 on
Well, duh, JD. Try as you might, you can’t get a car seat pregnant. This guy 🤦🏻♀️
TwoBirdsEnter on
What the fuck? How old are his kids? Are they old enough to figure out that dad hated taking care of their basic needs – such as providing safe transportation?
And also, if he had said “hey, we should give working families more financial support so they can definitely afford safe car seats,” his base would throw tomatoes at him.

J.D. bringing the heat with another blisteringly insightful analysis. I hope he keeps it up. When your enemy has committed to entangling themselves, it is generally advisable to hand them as much rope as possible.
Actual__Wizard on
This is legitimately the most ridiculous take on this subject that I’ve ever read.
We know that if you take animals and put them into a good environment, they typically breed, so why do we keep creating a toxic environment for human beings and the blame the wrong things for problems like the declining birth rate?
Here’s an idea: How about we support parents instead of slamming them with an absurd amount of crippling debt because a bunch of schemers want to make more money while doing little to no work?
rajastrums_1 on
100,000 babies not born since the advent of car seats for kids? Oh and where is the evidence of this? I’m calling bullshit on this clown.
ChelseaG12 on
Must be it! It probably has nothing to do with housing, childcare, cost of living, reproductive freedom, or socioeconomic circumstances.

Weirdo seems obsessed with upholstered seating.

>”American families aren’t having enough children. I think there’s evidence that some of the things that we’re doing to parents is driving down the number of children that American families are having,” Vance says in the video.
>”In particular, there’s evidence that the car seat rules that we’ve imposed, which of course I want kids to drive in car seats, have driven down the number of babies born in this country by over 100,000. So as we think about how to make kids safe here, I think we should do it in a way that’s accommodating to American families.”
GardenPeep on
I thought he was going to say tiny cars with tiny back seats reduce the conception of babies.
MarkXIX on
This dumb fuck acts like his ability to create kids is some kind of super power. Hey, dumb fuck, it’s like a basic function of living organisms, just a tier or so above breathing.
I can’t help but think this guy has like super low self esteem and he never thought he could land a woman that would have six with him and agree to produce children. Or, he finds his current relationship uncomfortable and has to constantly convince himself and others that it’s the ONLY way to live sexually because he is questioning his sexuality.
Seriously, I’ve never known anyone to so forcibly speak as if producing a child or two is so important.
storagerock on
Sure, it is a significant financial jump to have a car that can fit more than 2 car seats/booster seats at once.
But like maybe address the costs of minivans for families instead of suggesting we take away the thing that helps keep babies alive in accidents.
TheBestermanBro on
It’s insane how the answer is RIGHT THERE with the absurd cost to have a child and the lack of support from the government in having one, but no, this dumbass says cars seats are to.blame.
Republicans really are useless.

Who TF didn’t have a baby because of a car seat? That’s almost the most absurd thing I’ve heard him say.
nyet-marionetka on
Ok guys, we gotta get some of the best minds together to run the numbers and figure out the proper number of baby deaths to allow so that the births enabled by our cost cutting will more than replace them. Can we get some mining company officials together? They’re great at running these types of calculations.

I am not sure if Vance knows but if you had a newborn the hospital won’t let you leave without a car seat for the newborn. It’s like hospitals know how important they are.

People would have more kids if everything didn’t cost so much because we let billionaires and corporations pay dick in taxes. But sure, car seat regulations are actually the problem.
Vance is a wanker who comes up with cutesy “intellectual” answers to seem smart. He’s dumb as fuck.

Must have just listened to “Stickshifts and Safety Belts” by Cake. Once again, not an original thought in the man’s head.

It’s soooooo much work to add another car seat, what with the buckling and unbuckling… And for what?! To protect our newborn children as we race 70mph from place to place? I say, if the baby flies through the windshield, then that’s God’s will… We shall fill our minds with thoughts and the churches with prayers and we shall live free from the buckle of the car seat.
