bro theyre hoarding EVERYTHING.
Even the food! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp11jvYE408&pp=ygUbaSBoYXRlIGZhcm1lcnMgIGJhZGVtcGFuYWRh
And the water!
Even access to a clean environment! (as the IPCC has shown)
Like the substances and areas vital to human life are barely even there for us anymore.
2 yearsLmfao thanks for ruining our whole society, boomers. Reap what you’ve sowed.
Guess you shouldn’t have been entitled little shits and fucked up the world, then.

Maybe they shouldn’t horde and partition their wealth from their children and do everything possible to ensure every penny is spent before death.

Make the world a place that will be liveable in 100 years and pay people enough to exist:
A) without children, and B) with children
and boom, problem solved. Statistically, anyway.

They are the most important generation because they have watched over , stood aside and never intervened in , and participated in some of the most geneocidal capitalistic events in human history so far… so ya! …very important…

Breh The destruction that the Boomers have done to this planet will effect us for the next 200 years … probably more!

even if I had kids my dad would be excluded from grandparenting due to the trump worship. don’t need that kind of influence on the adult family members let alone kids.
Young folks have been priced out of housing & healthcare, you can be fired from your job on a whim, food is astronomically expensive, the political climate is tense, your basic human rights could be rescinded at any time, the future of the planet is being murdered by shitty capitalists with 0 regard for human life…
I mean, who wouldn’t want to bring a child into this world right now?
Eat shit.

I’m hunting for a new job for the second time in less than a year, and I’m honestly a skilled professional with over 10 years of experience, with a lot of proof that I do great work. The labor market is stupid right now, just down right stupid. Full of executives searching for short term profits rather than anyone wanting to actually run a company well. That’s alone is a huge reason, on top of everything else. I don’t even know if I’ll have stable employment, and that means I don’t know if I’ll have stable health insurance - so genuinely what are any actual incentives to my generation to have kids? Literally are there any beyond just “you have a kid now”

Once again Gen-X is ignored. It’s Gen-X hitting grandparenting age.
My two kids probably won’t be parents, and I’m ok with that. I want them to be happy more than I want to enjoy grandkids. Whatever they choose, I’ll be happy with.
I felt pressure from Boomer parents to have kids, and I didn’t want to do the same to my kids. That’s a hard nope.

Seems like old = boomers and young = millennials for journalist and a lot of people

People are having kids later in life, and the youngest millennials are only ~29.
Millennials are predominantly the children of Boomers, so that’s why these two generations are basing singled out.
Gen-X were called the a Baby Bust generation for a reason; there aren’t enough of them around in order to swap population metrics compared to what came directly before and after.

Make college and homes unobtainable… You get what you get and you don’t get upset.

Pollutes the hell out of an entire generation AND the planet they will inherit …the generation is dying off without having kids
Billionaires Boomers : “… GASP! …How dare they die off without giving me free slaves/grandkids?”
Shouldn’t 'ave fucked up the economy and environment, simple as
In another timeline where boomers didn’t destroy the housing market, didn’t ignore climate change, and didn’t continue to vote for regressive policies, maybe they’d have grandchildren.

Elder millennial here. I had kids, my brother didn’t, and my kids, though young enough to change their minds, are adamant they won’t have kids.
I think the more interesting stat likely unfolding is the marked decrease of great grandparents in a generation.
To be clear this is not a “threat to society” or whatever, people can decide if they want kids or not. Just a shower thought.

The real solution has always been immigration to get more bodies in the country managing the economy. It’ll never happen though.

No. The world population will hit 10 billion in the year 2040. The only question is whether there will be enough people to keep the first world going or not.
