What’s ironic is the same people advocating for policies that, basically make it flat out stupid to have kids in this world… are also the ones like “why no one want kids”.
OK so yeah the worlds shifted from where one income working 40 hours a week can comfortably afford a 3-4 bedroom house and food for 4+… to you’ll be lucky if 2 incomes is enough to afford a shitty one bedroom apartment unless you both are also swimming in school debt. If your 2 incomes happens to be enough to raise kids… well good luck actually raising them as paying someone to take care of your kids is likely equal to your smaller income (at which point you aren’t actually making a second income, but trading off to get away from your kids).
So yeah the 2 options are… 1. Give up this “Infinate growth everywhere”. can’t both have us working more and more for less and less… also cut out all safety nets, then expect us to invest in kids, who we also never will see because were always working…
Well, let’s be real; pull off the ‘why no one want kids’ mask and you get the actual things they’re saying: ‘why no one want to make white babies because Great Replacement Theory’ and ‘why no one want to be bound to poor working conditions and wage slavery’.
