You had a kid 200 years ago you had a massive support system to help you raise the kid. Grandparents either lived in the home and could help out with child raising or lived nearby, plus a village or community that was filled with families who could also help out with raising the child. That entire support system is gone and has been replaced mainly by costly and limited child care programs. In my opinion the bigger core problem is that society has way less support systems for people to have kids and as a result it’s correctly seen as a long and exhausting endevour. No subsidy is going to fix that.

For me it’s just climate change (maybe with a slight side of Gilead concerns). When I already worry about my own future access to certain basic resources 20-30 years into the future, adding kids into the equation is a scary prospect. I think the next 5-10 years of the global emissions trajectory is probably gonna be what swings me one way or the other

The younger generations these days have stopped drinking, getting creampies and eating unhealthy food.
All they want to do is drink matcha, track their runs on Strava and take a puff from their BigCloud3000 Juicy Mango Grape vape.
