US Birthrate Continues to Decline

[Unkotare]

Perhaps younger people just aren't into wanting to have kids. Possible?

Stop ******* repeating this bullshit, old man!

Ok will do

Normal for industrialized nations. Coupled with higher costs for daycare, medical insurance, college, blah, blah, blah, people would rather go to Cancun or watch the whales in Alaska.

How about don't pay daycare and care for your own children?

Good point. Marry a guy who makes 500k per year. Thats the other option.

Theres those that would rather work so they can travel, take vacations, drive nice cars, etc. A growing number just may be choosing that instead.

Selfish fuckers who would rather indulge their own pleasures than grow a family.

Holding out for a unicorn? (Mythical creature of legend only....do not exist in reality)
Going unicorn hunting?

Yeah....that's gonna work out just fine.

We will have a major upheaval in our society due to age demographics in 20 years.
ALL Young people will have to be conscripted to work in senior citizen centers, hospitals, public service jobs and the military. Nobody will be allowed exemptions from public service.

No, it's not.

If you want American birthrates to increase, close the border.

Meanwhile in average US life....

Government can destroy families....it can do nothing to build them.

 

[JohnDB]

This guy has a great point.

Wait. What

Its not immigrants that gave us 100% debt to GDP.

Exactly. Save money by don't having kids. Agreed 100%!

 

[Unkotare]

Exactly. Save money by don't having kids. !

Not what I was saying.

Uh.....
If you remove politicians from the list of "wealthy"....
Nope....there is definitely a class distinction between wealthy or never going to become wealthy despite being "better" in IQ, ideas, or talents.

Those initial hand ups and investments into their businesses really does assist in people becoming wealthy even if they technically did not have wealth of their own. (Their parents were wealthy but kids weren't until parents funded their businesses)

That's how it works.

That's not how it worked for me, my wife or either of our parents. We are all wealthy by standards set by the Democrats.

The US has the best pathway to success in the world. Period.

Nonetheless it is true. Save money by not having kids.

Why does anyone want to have kids except out of a narcissistic need to replicate themselves?

If you can think of three good reasons why people should have kids, please post them. TIA

It is NOT true. Really save money to have kids.

...

To grow a family, to perpetuate the species, and to express their love of their spouse and of God.
