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!
Mix of sad and angry. I see these broodmares popping out kids and I think of the movie Idiocracy because all of the more thoughtful people I know limited how many kids they had while the people having litters of kids all seem to be short-sighted selfish assholes. The thoughtful folks worry about saving college funds for the kids. The selfish ones don’t. They don’t have any plans, they are too busy making babies – and those kids are going to be predisposed to be the same way which will make matters worse for the handful of kids raised by thoughtful parents.
Idiocracy was a documentary
This comment is not grounded in any hard data besides this persons anecdote…
Statistically speaking I don’t think there is a single large group of people with replacement level fertility. American racists loved dunking on blacks and latinos but they haven’t been replacement level since 2010s.
Only groups who are insular communities like hasids, Mormons, certain Muslims.
Pedophilia rans rampant in these communities too…
