This is good news for the Earth. Not sure why the tide should be turned.

Because it is bad for capitalists & consumerism.

Incentivize raising a family, instead of allowing it be made into such an economic burden and hardship.

I know some people will say your family makes it worth it, but it's apparent that sentiment alone isn't working.

So let's see here:

Saddle me with a hundred thousand in student debt.

Saddle me with another hundred thousand in medical debt for the birth because of some technicality with half an aspirin being out of network and deeming the pregnancy elective or some horseshit.

Charge me upwards of twenty five thousand a year per kid for childcare.

Give me zero days of parental leave.

Charge a million dollars at seven percent for a studio condo with a predatory HOA hell bent on finding a reason to steal the property from me.

Pay me seven dollars an hour.

Yep. That whole quiverfull concept sounds fucking great!

deeming the pregnancy elective

It's becoming obligatory in say, Texas.

There are countries that have none of those issues and still have low birth rates, e.g. the Nordic countries.

๐Ÿ‘ Make ๐Ÿ‘ society ๐Ÿ‘ not ๐Ÿ‘ suck

How about that?

These systems have been draining people for so long, making society a dry, homogenous mess, lacking of any real culture or humanity, depriving local communities of economic development because "too big too fail" also means "monopoly is legal", people burning out, left and right, expections so high that you'd think the modus operandi was determined by a damn coke head, and the the collective narcecism, sycophancy, the nepotism? Jesus fucking Christ.

Why would you bring a child into this? Like "here junior, enjoy all that mental disease. Please don't shoot up any schools."

They can but the big oil won't let them.
