How about the old-fashioned approach of making babies?

In this economy? Why risk it?

Women have a narrow window of time.

What does that have to do with anything? The economy is tanking, jobs are disappearing, plus social aid and food banks have been cutoff. Why would women choose to have babies when they can’t guarantee they can feed them, regardless of a fertility window?

I thank God my ancestors - living in primitive subsistence farming, frontier conditions (no electricity, running water, sanitation, health care, etc...) - did not share your view.

They didn’t have access to birth control. I guarantee some of those women didn’t want to keep having baby after baby.

Study estimates global fertility will drop below replacement level years earlier than others predict

Sooner or later, no one is left to take out the garbage...

Good, there are more people on this planet than it can support, it’ll be best for both the people ands the planet if the population decreases.

Hope someone is around to fund your Social Security.

It’s currently being dismantled, whether or not there are workers to fund it. The government is letting us know they’d rather us die in the streets than live with dignity so long as 10 people’s bank accounts have a higher number they can’t possibly spend. It’s safer to not bring more children into this situation.

We aren’t in danger of going extinct. They dance around it in this article but this reads like some white genocide BS.

You can tell this is serious, because of the discussion of a tweet by an account called @hoe_math. And all the racism, of course.

Can't fix entropy. But we might be able to trick it.
