Automation is coming

[LV Koopa]

automation isn't a big deal. Get your skills up and you'll be in demand more than before.

they didn't have birth control, shotgun weddings were extremely common.

True. Birth Control has helped lower some genetic defects greatly.

You could say that divorce settlements are essentially "shotgun divorces".

anyone who thought a baby boom was gonna happen in the lockdown was dumb asf. i guess they missed the part of widespread unemployment lol.

 

[Godless Socialist CEO]

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

So the US Labor is lying is what your' implying correct? All the studies done wages being stagnant are lying? I just want to get you on record here, I'll address it later

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?

The bolded shows you snowflake ass nikkas. I mean you're screen name is Godless Liberal live up to that. To the "Wokely Carmicheals" of the world everything is "trash" you believe in nothing.

I didn't even technically say that Millenials should have children in fact I titled the thread Automation is coming Not You nikkas need to be cranking out babies


I'm not even going to refute your argument that millenials are "broke" even those nikkas alive in the 70's and 80's remember a Good Times style life that people don't even talk about now.

But would you at least say that less demand leads to less money period? I mean if there's broke ass people then less of even these broke ass people wouldn't that lead to less money at some point in the future? Not tommorrow, not next week but later.

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

'Remarkable' decline in fertility rates

This is an article from two years ago

This is my point. You wanted to bark on me and my min point is all over the west birth rates have been declining for years and nothing has reversed this.

They literally say that girls education slows the birth rates in the 3rd world.


Before you blow a gasket I'm just saying that's what studies have shown, I'm not advocating girls not going to school. What I am saying is that incresed female autonomy usually leads to less children being born.

Most people can't afford Jordans and shyt but they find a way to get what they want.

are they buying jordans every week?

are they buying 10's of thousands of dollars of designer gear every year?

children aren't a one-time cost.

Moreover there are some very ignorant takes in this thread on both sides of the spectrum, y'all really gotta read more

This is a message board. Post your thoughts prove or disprove the goofy shyt that you think is being said.

well unemployment did happen, but they got stimmy checks and the economy while still down is growing but birth rates aren't keeping pace.

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.

This right here. And those years studying means they aren't working (most of them) they're literally in a holding pattern almost like a second childhood.

Again not shytting on the concept of higher education but their needs to be more ways to be educated to make money. Underwater welders make a fortune and it takes way less time to train and some brehs would find that job more rewarding that sitting in an office.

Honestly I don't seriously engage in intellectual discourse with those who can't keep up (factually) or those who can't agree to disagree (on subjective issues, or when they refuse to use facts).

I'm more of an observer anyway

Yes the thread wasn't shytting on automation, It was just a statement of facts.

I mean you can try it. I'm not one of these emotional brehs that have some agenda that I have to push.

But on the other hand, It's ironic to say there's no serious convos on the board while bytches you would nut in has a 100,000 posts.

Children are the most expensive time consuming thing in the world, but the poorest among us tend to have the most children.

I mean this was a movie but It does have some similarities to real life:

 

[datnigDASTARDLY]

True. Millennials and Gen Zs are allergic to hard work

They think Trade is "beneath them"

You half right, but you can't blame us...our generation got beat over the head with promises of high pay with degrees

But, even if things changed, there still is no pay for that hard labor anyway. These factories still trying to pass off $14-15 an hour as a liveable wage...it aint and especially not in warehouse 100 degree heat.

It's on them to provide benefits for the labor like they did with the boomers and covid is showing them the need to do more right now.
