      I WONDER WHAT COULD’VE HAPPENED IN 2008?

      Oh God I can already picture the chuds adopting this as evidence that (((they))) intentionally tanked the economy to start the great replacement.

    Conservatives for the last 40 years: why should we spend money on other people's kids, if you can't afford kids then don't have any.

    Conservatives now: wow why is no one having any kids?

      Conservatives are having kids! It's liberals worried about the baby bust. In the past, they could rely on the global South sending migrants our way to boost their numbers. Now that no one wants to move to this shithole country, Liberals are worried about being outbred.

    It's totally the pandemic and not because of ongoing austerity measures designed to siphon more income from working class people while making housing, food, school, and healthcare more unaffordable.

      Honest to God, why would they do this instead of automating everything? If birth rates go down and labor costs more than automation, why not just shut the fuck up and automate? Is it about the profits or the death cult where they just want to increase suffering? Something else?

    convince

    When you are comfortable materially as is everyone else in your bubble, you simply can't fathom that there may be people out who would like to have kids but economic precariousness in which we live in makes that a reckless thing to do.

    I'd like to have a kid. I can't afford to have a kid. Welcome to America motherfuckers.

    Geez, maybe our current predicament isn't ideal to have kids in. Shocking.

    Some real gross comments of people trying to polish their over-population takes.

    solving that declining birth rate

    that's like saying "solving" world peace or utopia, why would you want anything else

        Wait, what? That doesn't make any sense. We live on a finite planet. Why would we use a system that requires infinite growth on a finite planet? Isn't that a flawed system that needn't be used?

          you might think so, but in the meantime a few people get the power to fly around on private jets and monstrously abuse the desperate

            Ahh, I see. I can more easily envision myself as transforming into a private jet user than becoming the desperate. It's a good system, folks! 👍

              not rly

              it's more that the skin cell melanin levels of the people flying the jets is more similar to mine, so it's good. even tho im an unemployed NEET

          Funny you should say that, considering we actually do have five eyes
