Comment on Why Are So Many Americans Choosing to Not Have Children? It’s probably not selfishness, experts say. Even young adults who want children see an increasing number of obstacles.

  Yeah, they keep writing this same article about falling birth rates while it’s fucking obvious to anyone who lives a real life why. Most of us are stuck renting, all the social benefits boomers got have been rolled back, and there’s the uncertainty of global warming and the American Empire declining while their leaders are in total denial about it instead of trying to manage it.

  You don’t want to start thinking about kids if you know that you could end up living in your car next week even if you’re doing relatively well right now.

    We all need to remove that these articles aren’t written for the working class. WE KNOW WHY and have been more than happy to tell anyone that would ask, but the upper class refuses to listen to anything we say, on principle - ala social darwinism bullshit.

    The major rags and media pundits, everyone of them, are all geared to the person who reads Forbes to see if they were mentioned in it this time.

    The news makes sooooo much more sense once this is realized. The scabs we call the 1% are a solid 10 years behind what everyone on the factory floor has known about for fucking ever.
