It's almost always mothers because they do often make less money than their partners. And it's also the case that they do need to recover. Because we don't have paid family leave in the United States, about one in four women return to work within two weeks of giving birth. That is way too early. That is absolutely shameful.

And only about a fifth of people have access to paid leave in the United States. And so, you know, we don't make this a very family-friendly country. We shame high-earning women and well-educated women for working too much and not staying home with their kids. And then we shame poor women for wanting to stay home with their kids because their income doesn't offset the price of childcare.

You can't win. And that's really, I think, a big problem.

Yeah. So Elon Musk is interesting in the sense that there are a lot of people in the tech world who are good at math and think that makes them good at demography because it's a math-related field. But they don't really understand some of the theories, some of the ways we do modeling and think about this.

So at one point, Musk was projecting something, and he had projected us all the way down to zero. And I was like, well, no, that's not – Right. But he has this huge influence. And so people are listening to him. So it is important to take him seriously. But some of the stuff he just says, to be honest, is pretty bonkers.

He has this whole thing about C-sections that women should have C-sections because that allows their baby's brains to be bigger than a vaginal birth. And that is just so utterly bonkers. I mean, babies' heads, their skulls are not fully fused for an evolutionary reason to go through the birth canal without, you know, crushing their brains.

And so the idea that we're listening to this guy, I mean, it chills me.
