    young people. my wife and I are in our 50’s and we figured out in our twenties that things were not good enough to be havin kids. I am so lucky I went to school to much because if I had gotten a career going in the 90’s I might have had kids. dodged a bullet.

      This is interesting, because the media was unbelievable ridiculous in the 80s, and people believed everything they heard more often, and also things were better back then. What was bothering you back then? Cold war? That’s all I recall from then that was really bad to experience.

        80’s i was in high school. basically I went to school long enough that I was not getting going career wise untill the new millenium and it was about 2005 when we made the no decision. If I had not went to so much school I might have gotten going in 95 and decision time might have been like 98. that is where I dodged the bullet.

    Nah, I don’t have kids because I don’t want any. It’s not a protest, not everything has to be a social movement. Drop the gen Z nonsense and just accept people do things for other reasons.

    I don’t want to give birth, and I’d be a shit mom. That’s why I’m child free.

      I don’t want any first and foremost, but at the same time the fact that it annoys “family values” conservatives is definitely a bonus, and I am looking forward to it becoming an even bigger wedge issue for them.

    that’s not how it is. people aren’t not having children because they will be cannon fodder in some bullshit wars, but because it’s inherently pointless. there’s not gonna be jobs in the future. who’d put a child in the world that’s gonna be eternally bored? what’s the point in that?

      …There’s not gonna be jobs in the future?..

      Actually you kmow what ? I dare you to show us this ‘future’ you speak of. Come back to this comment in 20 or 30 year, so about a generations time, and then show me how there are ‘nO jObs iN ThE FuTurE’ . Actually make it 50 years.

      Im gonna be completely honest with you, I think that your comment that you have made here was made with the AMAZINGLY incorrect assumption that you believe that the advances thst humans will make in technology and AI will replace all or most of human labour in the future …is that what you were attempting to state? (…PLease say no…)
