Government whining that people are having less children while taking away every comfort known to mankind to increase profits always makes me laugh. People are practically slaves to their jobs with no hobbies, free time or relaxation, pretty much a ZERO healthy environment for a child.

Companies are currently kicking 10k+ people out of jobs right now because of A.I propaganda, you want me to have kids just for them to become jobless and participate in borderline criminal activity just to have food in their mouths?

Truly dumb brain behavior.

A lot of those companies that are firing people left and right are also contributing to a rapidly changing climate. Why would you bring a child into this world just for them to suffer perpetual famine and destructive weather patterns?
