?Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Public Reaction Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Public Reaction Upon hearing Wang Junpeng’s bizarre remarks, Xu Jie sarcastically retorted, “What do you mean our taxes are used for other people’s children? It’s just societal public resources, and you’re making it sound so weird… You could also have your own children and earn back the taxes you’ve paid, right? Having two could earn you societal resources and even contribute to the entire civilization… Having ten could get you more benefits and make you a hero to the entire civilization!”

At this point, Xu Jie suddenly remembered something, “…but that’s not right, we’re primarily in a planned economy now. How much tax did you even pay?”

Wang Junpeng defiantly replied, “Who says I haven’t paid a lot in taxes? I made so much money this year, enough to raise a kid, right?”

The two stared at each other with wide eyes, arguing endlessly without coming to any conclusion or having any compelling counterarguments.

In fact, neither of them was quite right. Population growth, for the present new civilization, was mostly a positive influence.

To put it concretely, if a unit “1” of societal public resources was invested in raising a baby, once he grew up and entered society, he could return 10 or even 20 times the public resources, making everyone’s life better. It was definitely a profitable deal!

Of course, this kind of deal was clearly calculable for the entire civilization but not so apparent for individuals. Even if the infancy and growth period lasted only 20 or 30 years, it still felt like a long time for an individual.

As for Wang Junpeng and Xu Jie, although they made a lot of money recycling phones… as wealthy individuals aboard the spaceship, neither of them wanted to have children.

Look at the people around who had kids—how miserable were they?
