    Yeah, people growing up the 80’s heard about nuclear war and ozone layer and acid rain and lots of other stuff. People freaked out then too and lived recklessly thinking the future was lost. But most people just lived their lives and didn’t go live in a bunker. That’s what’s going to happen here.

    Life just sort of happens, even when the doomer memes get upvoted to the front page

    Poverty has never been a major cause of low births. The poorest countries in the world have the highest birth rates. Instead it’s about increasing women’s health and education, giving them the choice to have fewer children or none. Turns out when they have the choice women don’t want to get pregnant and raise kids at 20. They want to have careers and lives and travel and stuff.

    Nations need to make child rearing more appealing for couples to want to be parents. Because a huge chunk of people could have salary raises and homes and be upper class and still now want to have kids.
