You don't pay anything for a Google search or to use Google maps, but they make billions selling advertising.

Wait no, they can't be because they're worth billions right?

If you choose to not have children (which is 100% your choice) for financial gain, you will lose out on one of the greatest experiences in life. yea i'd rather be poor with 5 kids than having 100 billion with noone around me lol I guarantee if you had $100 billion you'd have some one hanging around!

However when the FHFA Settled with its servicers for Billions of Dollars they unwittingly let them out of this responsibility. https://origin.www.fhfaoig.gov/Content/Files/EVL-2...So the Banks were gambling with a free bet while the FHFA was showing off The Emperors New Clothes.
