I get that but this is a new phenomenon. Kids literally lengthen older people's lives. They have pet therapy for old shut in's so they they have something to love on. Crack era grandmothers raised their crackhead children just 20 years ago. Golfing or playing shuffleboard on a cruise costs money.
how many people can really afford to have kids? the negative impact of income inequality will continue to ripple throughout society.

True. Millennials and Gen Zs are allergic to hard work
They think Trade is "beneath them"

Does voting democrat make you special or something? Also Liberals are fukking trash so if you're one that also explains quite a bit.
You're making lazy arguments that don't really make sense or have any bearing to the situation that is currently going on in the US. Like comparing two things that aren't similar like a large first world country and third world country literally is a waste of time.
There have been plenty of studies done showing that Millennials are poorer than generations before them, plenty of studies done showing that wages we're killed by Reagan and company after Unions were taken out back and shot. Claiming that inflation alone caused the cost of living to accelerate past wages shows a complete lack of education on the subject. Saying wild stuff like "Well back in the early 1900's no one had a social safety net" yeah those people lived like shyt for the most part. Why would anyone want to live like that? You also left out the part about America being in an awful depression pre WW2 so I'd think that's a good argument for why you should have kids.
With all of that said why should Millennials be reproducing in the first place? What benefit do they get from killing their quality of life to raise a child that they can't afford and also not being able to give that child the quality of life they deserve? There's an argument to be made that the moral thing to do in today's world is not reproduce. My final question is why the fukk would anyone want to bring a child into the world as it currently is right now?

Also this is the important part of what I mean about comparing some third world country to the US. Birth Rates are down in most developed countries

"Wages are Stagnant" is a myth
Millennials and Gen Z have no skills that are worth a higher salary, outside of their Master's degrees in Medieval Theater
They want to get higher wages while working at Target and McDonalds. Not gonna happen

If you're gonna post nonsense back it up. Because that's a fukking lie. I don't even need to post a fukking article I'll just post a graph. There's plenty of shyt out there to read. Some of you mother fukkers swear your opinion somehow means more than actual fact.

I feel you. But I know somebody like my mother who loves to be out and about doesn’t wanna be tied down watching kids. She worked hard for over 40 years as a teacher and has been enjoying retirement. She doesn’t just sit around watching tv and playing crossword puzzles
they didn't have birth control, shotgun weddings were extremely common.
As a 22 year old this is a half truth. Fact is our K-12 school is exponentially tougher than it was for literally the generation before us (let's not talk about boomers). To learn all that shyt in K-12 just to do a trade feels like a waste to most, but the fact is most can't be doctors, engineers, accountants, etc. and all those jobs worth going to college for.
In all honestly most fields don't need college, a 2 year school focused on the industry culminating in examination for certification would suffice (hell you can be a fukking cop in less than a year), but American capitalism is predicated on debt, hence telling people that have no shot of finishing school, or finishing and getting a decent job, or finishing getting a decent job that would allow them to get out of debt they NEED to go to conventional 4 year institution.

I guess I'll have to break it down for you. Its like you ignored my post and decided to post this useless graph
Millenials and Gen Z chose a useless Masters Degree in Woman studies over a Skilled Trade, and this is the end result. Wages haven't stagnated. Their job skills have eroded
