    I mean, some cash is nice but the reason people don’t have kids is

    • a bleak future in the face of a collapsing ecosystem
    • late stage capitalism forcing people to work all day just to be able to afford existing
    • degrading childcare infrastructure amidst missing teachers, preschool educators, daycare workers, etc. And a general social climate hostile to raising children
    • and lastly of course the crippling loneliness epidemic, leaving many people (particularly men) unable to find partners

        Gen Y/Z: we require legitimate action on climate change, ecocide, housing security and affordability, wealth inequality, economic mobility, work/life balance, social welfare, education, healthcare, greedflation, monopolies!

        Capitalism: We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas… How about a pizza party?
