Sorry for linking to Krone.at, which is a running joke in Austria regarding their quality, but i couldn’t find an english language source anywhere else.

And it’s only mildly infuriating if you are a well-tempered person - i personally find it outrageous. His main argument is that child rearing is no business case. Maybe we should make it one.

      That’s the worst part of it - he is a father. Which means his public utterances completely devalued the years and years of work of his wife.

      I’m a childless man who is not able to deal with children because i am very sensitive to voices and noise, and i understand anyone who does not want to have children. But negating that children are a ton of work very important for a functioning society that goes unrecognized because “they are no business case” is just infuriating even to me. I am ashamed to have this guy as a chancellor.

        Shit. As someone with two daughters I can assure you that we can deduce that his wife has never had a genuine break from childcare however long their kids have been alive.
