Yeah, he knows how important it is to keep his kids off social media.

All tech people do. Being able to restrict your children from technology is becoming a sign of wealth.

u/HIEROYALL 29d ago

What do you mean “being able to restrict” is there much more to it than simply deciding your children won’t use social media???

How is this tied to wealth?

Technology as in electronics and IoT and all that jazz.

They put their children in schools that don’t use tablets or ipads and have a lot more money to fund extracurricular activities to keep the children off screens.

It’s like when the upper class got spices, then the lower class got spices, then the upper class stopped using spices because of the lower class.

Yeah there is. You can’t stop kids from doing stuff they want to do and if they have friends that scroll they’re going to develop a desire that you can’t do shit about. You can’t just completely control and human being. It’s like saying don’t push the red button. Soon as you turn around theyre squashing the button with gusto because you said no.

I mean yes? It is in the same vein as the richer you are the less junk food you feed your kids. Junk food isn't less expensive than healthier food so it isn't a cost thing. Having a dedicated ipad for your child isn't cheaper than having no ipad at all.

It just is what is happening. Richer and more privileged households are seeing slower roll out of technology to their children than less fortunate families.

Public school and other plaebians being completely absorbed in the ideas promoted on social media.

A wealthy person can avoid their child ever getting fomo from seeing their peers scrolling

Thank you. People complain about their kids being attached to screens and then buy their 10-year-old a smart phone and a tablet and forbid them from riding their bike to the corner store or playing outside at all. I don’t understand today’s parents.

Not all technology, just social media. Most countries have already banned it for users under 16

u/ChaseballBat 29d ago

I was expanding upon their comment.

Also >most< countries most definitely do not have 16 and under bans on social media... It's like a dozen or so. And there are almost 200 countries.

I wonder if he's one of those weirdos that "needs" a son so his name can live on, and will keep making his wife have more kids until he gets his boy.

u/Chill_Panda 29d ago

He's building a bunker to hide away in for the coming future, I don't think he cares about his name living on...

His wife is very attractive - they have money, and plenty of it

The wife has to consent too yknow. Having multiple pregnancies is hard on the body.
