I personally cringe when I hear a friend js having a kid. All I can think of is how bad theyre going to have it. Hell id definitely have been better off being born 20 years earlier, but these new kids are REALLY screwed unless they have super rich parents.

"Nothing new under the sun" I suppose!

Without knowing your friends social economic conditions it is hard to asses...

But this OP is cringe AF though.

Mind your own business lol

If you don't want children, good for you. Trying to act like it is a moral imperative is a maturity issue.

Actually kind of jealous, because they will have AI just do healthcare on every single human, and they will have AI teachers and so on.

EDIT: Did I mention fucking UBI?

Why? They stand to inherit from up to 4 grandparents and there is a lot less competition for it these days.
