Here they could have the key to warping space/time, and the first use is to putter along in orbit cheaply.

You know someone is a small scale thinker, when they miss the bus, and wish they had a Star Trek transporter device, so they could beam themselves to the next bus stop.

I don't remember the author, but I read a short story long ago about a man who invented time travel and only used it once a week to go back several decades and buy pork chops because they were really cheap.

You underestimate the rigid control HR departments now have over the hiring process. The days where you could call a friend with a job opening and hire them the next week are gone. The HR consultants have sold the modern corporation on a model where they are the gatekeepers and your professional scientific input backed by decades of experience is irrelevant put up against their liberal arts degree and HR after their name in the Outlook address book.

The woman apparently has said that she will not be demanding any support or anything more from the father.

Except that her agreeing to this now means nothing if circumstances change. If she falls on hard times in the future, the state may then go after the father for child support no matter what the couple agreed to previously.
