"I will now present no evidence whatsoever that falling birth rates haven't been driven by economic factors." Bull shit.
Fucking unhinged. We've had what, three? "once in a lifetime" crashes since 2007, with skyrocketing housing prices and costs of living vs comparatively flat wage growth. Inequality is rising, fascism is making a comeback around the globe, we've likely already hit numerous climate tipping points, child labour laws are being rolled back, oligarchs are floating bringing back corporate towns, but sure champ, people having easier access to porn is responsible for lower birth rates...
Among my millennial friends the majority do not own their own home, gave up family ideas, and are basically just fucked. Major reason I have a house is because when I was younger I killed a bunch of strangers for the government. Now even that isn't enough for an increasing part of the country. Fuck, replacing my roof is going to be thousands of dollars which I only have part of right now.
