I’m a bit confused.
The subject line of this thread is proposals to address the shidduch crises. But, the responses are predominantly about the effect of the financial burden of having children on shidduchim.
Welcome to a popa troll thread (albeit with a serious point).
He is pointing out that the proposed solutions have possible downsides. He is correct. His proposed “solution” is an exaggeration to prove a point. He doesn’t really think people should limit family size to solve the shidduch crisis. He doesn’t either think we should stop being mekarev women, make 10% of the girls frei, or retract Cherem D’Rabeinu Gershom, although all of the above would be mathematical solutions.
The million dollar question is how do we balance the possible negative consequences with the negative consequences of inaction.
Part of that question is how negatively do we view the consequences.
There are big roshei yeshiva on either side of this hashkafically thorny issue, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t discuss it. Even though I lean towards one side of the issue, I don’t dismiss the other.
As far as the tangent started by those who have no clue what the thread was supposed to be about, we have a semi-socialist approach to tuition already, as no yeshivish schools insist on full tuition for those who truly can’t afford it. I think the chassidishe mosdos are even more socialist about this than we are.
