Western regimes hate their domestic populations so much that they see no point to create a world where these wagies would want to procreate.
The thing is most people want kids but between economic and social conditionsz it is just a bad decision at best or straight ticket into poverty and misery.
While Germany has decent policies, they are being erroded aggressively as with other countries
Boomers really did build a brave new world for us, sold out their own children to the rich as slabe labour so they can live their best lives.
It is always a class wae but what we got is a strong generational element across the west.
Aren't the people having the most kids, like, dirt poor subsistence farmers in third world countries? If no money = no kids I'd expect the opposite trend.
Yes and owner class are also having most kids too;)
But we are talking about working people in the oecd countries.
Is it truly a means problem in Germany or is it a cultural decision?
The regime wants everyone to believe it is a "cultural" decision. I don't buy that narrative. In US there is clearly desire to have kids for majority but most people are opting out due to socio economic conditions same in other angle countries.
I am willing to take risk to assume it is the same in germnay.
This implies that Germans have no money issues?
US is wealthiest country in the world and most people are objectively poor here but they they got got their iphones 🤡
