Probably should have free daycare, free secondary education, free housing, free transportation, and free internet. If not, why should I ruin my life for a kid?:yeshrug:

And reform alimony and child support laws. A lot of men ending their bloodlines early because of those financially regressive laws.

Story after story . Article after article. Something is clearly wrong but we're just going to keep making jokes until the point of no return.
Combination of multiple things

hyper-individuality, shytty economies, environmental factors wreckin havoc genetically, and one hell of a gloomy future outlook.

Guess Canada is gonna become majority Indian in a few decades :skip:

Not sure how white supremacists/certain FBA extremists will cope with the economic/demographic need to increase immigration in the next 10-20 years.

I can only hope more Africans are allowed to come to America.

Already got the southern border open... hell usa probably got 30-40mill illegals in it right now

It’s a little more than that lol
what more is it? Career women establishing their careers in their mid 30's then spending several years dealing with the wrong Men or having an extended Hot girl summer then trying to have an opps baby or freezing their eggs in the 40's even if they have a kid that usually only one, rare is the women who wants to have a church of kids, so even women who do that means a 50% reduction and add in accidents and incels and it's easy for the population to fall off a cliff.

What saved ADOS back in the day was girls having opps babies in high school. oNce they solved that problem you move closer toward a South Korean model.

They do that in Europe and Japan it never ever works, either women want to have kids or they don't. Women gotta have a life too.

it's not just about being financially stable, people are working 40+ hours a week and commuting, feeling worn out all the time is likely a significant factor then people don't feel up to having children.

it's a combination of things and circumstances thats leading people to these choices.

i don't know what free giveaways you're referring to but clearly it ain't enough.
Welfare and child subsidies.

This is like someone putting spikes and mines on the field after they've played then asking why nobody wants to step on to the field.

They are reaping what they've sown. They should have taken environmental protection seriously. They didn't. They should have harshly punished monopoly attempts. They didn't. They should have at the very least kept tax rates at what they were. They didn't.

At every turn where they could have done something to protect the future and create a world people would actually feel responsible for and would want to improve, they chose to put their own interests and desires first. And now they want to gaslight adults who are saying "I can't see any reason why I should choose to struggle more than I currently am" into being miserable.

The narcissism of boomers created an apathetic and cynical generation who didn't care about anything anymore and actively made fun of you if you did(Gen X) who then encouraged cynicism in millennial people. Now Gen Z is split up into people who want to squeeze the last ounces of wealth still around(largely by scamming everyone) or have just given up and try to manage what little they have.

Actions have consequences and the silver lining is that the kids growing up under millennial parents who actually planned to have them are growing up in homes where the parents are prioritizing those kids being stable, normal, and happy. They're giving their children the lives they deserve. They think their children will be part of a movement that will turn things around and are trying to set them up the best they can to make that dream a reality. I genuinely wish them the best.

For the majority of people who are deciding not to have children, I think that may change if drastic action is taken on climate, housing, Job security and overall peace and safety both domestically and internationally. People are smart enough to know when they're being lied to by people in power and the decentralization of media has allowed people to see footage or hear audio that directly contradicts the lies they're being fed. Look at what happened in 2020 with George Floyd. If smartphones were not recording them, the general public would've accepted the prepared statement the police would've given to the media. Instead we saw worldwide protests at the blatant abuse of power and attempt at covering it up.

isn't that below poverty sustenance? Are you under the impression that people are thriving off of welfare?
No but you can't bribe women to have children. Look at it from a woman's perspective she "does the right thing" and plays Old Mother Hubbard and she'll end up like Old Mother Hubbard.

I have a girl who makes food runs for me here in Colombia who had a child she just texted me that she took the salary I paid for her to pay for her child's medicine and now she's behind on the rent.

She doesn't know what to do, I told her she can buy groceries for me on the 1st appearently the child's father ain't kicking in.

That's what women are worried about being stuck with mouths to feed when they could be doing anything else.
