If you want people to have more babies, at least try to do something about the climate emergency and pay a livable wage. Until then, fuck off.

Lots of things we could do to encourage having children in the US. Like providing socialized healthcare. Investing in education. Higher salaries. Better work benefits.

But we don’t do any of these things. Quite the opposite. And yet the powers that be still expect us to want more kids?

The oligarchs of America don't want to do that. Which is why alot of them pushed politicians and Supreme Court cucks to ban abortion

Further decreasing the birth rate. They really are so uninterested in how policy works or what the effects of their decisions are. It's utterly despicable

I mean, yes. But also pregnancy entails risk, so people opt out if there's no way to pull the plug if something goes catastrophically wrong.

If the income wasn't moved up so high to all those hoarders we'd be off to a good start ..

I find it so weird how many on the right wring their hands and clutch their pearls about birth rates while also claiming America is "full" (wtf? have any of these dipshit even driven through America much?) when it comes to things like immigration.

To them, America is full though. We don't have any more room for brown people. Racists are not bright people.
