Millenials being accused of not pumping out enough babies when we can't even support ourselves

The people linking kids to capitalism im dead bruh 💀

Millennials and Gen-Z are truly the lost generation.

Imagine still living with parents in your late twenties or even early thirties because you simply cannot afford to even rent your own place. Now imagine that work pays like shit and you are busting your ass working long hours to chase an eternal pipe dream of economic prosperity. You can't even seek psychiatric help for your ailing mental health because it's expensive, inaccessible and oversubscribed.

For a man, being in that situation makes you downright undateable so it's not like you can rely on the joint incomes that couples do either.

And we wonder why toxic masculinity is on the rise...

The rich have done a smash & grab on the economy and made everybody poorer as a result of their own greed. It's a dangerous game.

If you wanted the younger generation to continue producing workers for the capitalist machine, you should have made sure that potential parents had enough resources to actually maintain a family if they started one.

But yeah, that would have slightly reduced quarterly profits, and we can't have that kind of long-sightedness messing with the short-term returns of our shareholders.

Population growth is a pyramid scheme.

Shit, until the west falls, I'm staying rubber'd up and preferably, in the guts of other men rather than doing some shit that can accidentally saddle me with an 18-year money sink in a country that already wants my every last dollar; since that whole 'reversible vasectomy' thing sounds both too good to be true, and outside of my current capability for expenditure.

The part I don't understand is why it's important to hit the "replacement level". Wouldn't it be better for the planet if there were fewer people living on it and competing for resources?

Can't think of any particular reason we need to replace the US population. It seems like we've done enough.
