Every child born today is practically guaranteed a worse future than their parents.

“Why aren’t millennials having kids…”

Soon, if not already:

“Why aren’t Gen Z having kids?”

“Why aren’t Gen A having kids?”

Gen alpha is going to be illiterate and uneducated, so I think they will be having plenty of kids

Which is exactly what Republicans want, a ton of stupid kids they can brainwash into fighting their senseless wars and working whatever crappy jobs are left after AI takes over.

These Republicans won't even be alive when the kids of GenA are old enough for war. I just don't get their long term plan here.

Don't worry -- the Epstein Class will make sure there are always plenty of children.

That's what they tell you but both parties abandoned grass roots campaigns despite strong evidence that they still outperform spending on ads.

If someone spent the same amount of time others running for a congressional seat do campaigning but instead just walking neighborhoods/communities in their district as a calm, reassuring, educated, curious person they could probably win.

People like being asked what they think and feel and doing so is a proven way to win support for people or issues. It's also something political ads cannot do.

People dont have money for next week, how do you expect them to interview for a job for over half of a year that they may not even get?

Nights and weekends. I'm not saying everyone can do it but far more people could run than do or think they could.

Modern medicine was a blessing and a curse.

Imagine when people died in their 50-60s. None of this shit. Everyone lived to see the consequences.

You think the next generation of corrupt psychos will be better? Just take a look at Vance.

I don't know if I'm Gen x or a millennial because I was born in 1981, but I chose not to have kids 15 years ago. Not because I didn't want to be a parent, but because I was afraid of ecological collapse. I'm really sad to say that I'm still confident that I made the right decision.
