Why aren't you creating more workers??

Not disagreeing with your point, but women can have children until menopause. It gets riskier and harder but not as much as most people commonly believe. "Biological clock" is a largely made up concept.
The biological clock exists, and it is real. But it ends at a time where no reasonable person should seriously consider having a first child.
For most women menopause starts around 45 and the last period happens around 49-55. That's the hard limit.
Between 30-45 having kids is most often possible, though it's getting more difficult and the chance for things like trisomy 21 is increasing exponentially with increasing age.

Oh yeah I forgot about that, that is messed up, I hope this period of madness ends soon and we can get some normalcy back
If they are following the usual timeline, that's another 4 years until a world war, and then another 6 years until someone drops a bomb and ends everything.

Frames like that are excellent birth control.
Nah, those frames are awesome.

I don't want to bring kids in this world that will inevitably grow up with a father when I take out all my frustration and grievances on members of the ruling class.
They're gonna wish I used a guillotine.

I'm trying to get pregnant, but it's kinda hard when you're a guy. I won't stop trying, tho. 🫡

Children also do disgusting things but they usually grow out of it, whereas a cat can be joking up hairballs its entire life
On the other hand, my cat won't want an iphone in middle school and will never attempt university on my $$$

The birth rate moral panic is 100% manufactured by neoliberal capitalists who simultaneously want high consumption and low wages, which is a logical impossibilty. You cannot have a consumerist society where the average consumer lives paycheck to paycheck

The math has changed.
100 years ago, you'd get kids so you can afford eggs.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah, then child labor laws came and ruined that for everyone.
But don't worry, soon those too will be a thing of the past!

I feel like this is a plot of a dystopian movie somewhere where they breed artificial humans to make into slaves

A man must always live by his work, and his wages must at least be sufficient to maintain him. They must even upon most occasions be somewhat more; otherwise it would be impossible for him to bring up a family, and the race of such workmen could not last beyond the first generation...
Every species of animals naturally multiplies in proportion to the means of their subsistence, and no species can ever multiply beyond it. But in civilised society it is only among the inferior ranks of people that the scantiness of subsistence can set limits to the further multiplication of the human species; and it can do so in no other way than by destroying a great part of the children which their fruitful marriages produce.
The liberal reward of labour, by enabling them to provide better for their children, and consequently to bring up a greater number, naturally tends to widen and extend those limits. It deserves to be remarked, too, that it necessarily does this as nearly as possible in the proportion which the demand for labour requires. If this demand is continually increasing, the reward of labour must necessarily encourage in such a manner the marriage and multiplication of labourers, as may enable them to supply that continually increasing demand by a continually increasing population.

This, but also retirement being a thing.
100 years ago, kids were much less of an investment than today (they'd start pulling their own financial weight at like age 6-12, not at age 20-30 like today) and they'd be the only thing making the difference between being able to retire to one of your kids' home or the poor house.
Nowadays kids take much more money and time to get ready, and if you have no kids you can still retire and have your retirement financed by other peoples' kids. And then you even get to keep all the money you would have spent on getting your kids ready for the world, and you can spend it on yourself.
Financially speaking, having kids used to be a necessity and now it's a pretty bad choice.

im not spending a fortune to raise a child when i can barely afford eggs
Nice humblebrag I guess, I'm beginning to forget what eggs even taste like

In the USA? If yes, the US is a sick country in regard to income distribution, labor laws, healthcare and public services. However, if your friend voted MAGA, zero sympathy and he/she can carry on.

Yeah those kids deserve to be neglected! Fuck em!

I would kill for a family. I'll die alone, I've accepted that. I understand that im unconventional and weird, I just wish I could meet someone that reflected that. But it's just not in the cards for a man like myself. So ill die surrounded by my animals and hopefully they'll consume my flesh so I can become Jesus 2.0 but with animals
You and me both sis

I mean you're half right. In a zoo, the keepers care for their animals, making sure they're well fed, enriched, and healthy.
We're being farmed. They are using us to make money from our produce (labour). They're using us to make money. We're so over exploited we simply cannot afford to have children.
