Let’s see. 500k for a home in a good neighborhood. Daycare costing 500 a week. Health insurance covering less and deductibles going up. Pay rates stagnant for years. Food costs twice as much as it did 5 years ago. Mass layoffs happening and no one is hiring. But these elites wonder why no one is having kids. Frigging clowns. 🤡

Stop telling people to have a bunch of kids. Why aren’t you concerned about the QUALITY OF LIFE for these babies you are telling people to have? The cost of living is TOO HIGH everywhere. Ai is going to take millions of jobs. You also shame people for living off of government assistance! So stop telling people to have kids they can’t afford!

My wife and I just had our first child and let me tell you, Day care is expensive for one kid. I can only imaging how it will be with more than one. The government needs to address the affordability crisis because the middle class is being wiped out. There will only be rich and poor.

We don’t need more kids we need a better functioning society and system. When everyone needs to work 60 hours a week to barely afford food and shelter you aren’t going to see people having kids.

Our birthrate was dropping long before they financially broke us.
