"Douthat’s point…is that upper class people should 'preach what they practice,' with proponents of that phrase seemingly thinking that it means that upper class people should tell lower class people to marry. But what upper class people practice is not 'marriage.' It’s 'marriage to upper class people.'" #MattBruenig https://mattbruenig.com/2023/09/30/response-to-douthat-on-two-parent-families/

// we can all agree, children of the poor would be better off if a parent had married an Ivy League grad. surely the poor shld delay childbearing until then.
