climate change and other disasters they helped create. It's no wonder the birth rate is declining. Myself and many others do no want to bring progeny into this world to suffer. Serious reforms must be made before we consider.

I feel like anyone bemoaning the declining birth rate in the US doesn't understand that between student loans, childcare, and a mortgage (if you're lucky), many families are paying basically three mortgages every single month.

The only stories I'm interested in about the declining birth rate are the ones that say if there's a gap between how many kids women want vs how many they have, and consider for which kinds of women that gap is biggest and why

Also if you create a society where only the well off can afford to reproduce then you guarantee a lower birth rate. Fun fact, rich people don't tend to have large families. But even if they do? The 1% cannot reproduce at a rate that replaces the kids everyone else isn't having.

the venn diagram of people who rant about "the birthrate is too low!" and people who rant about "the poors have too many children they can't afford!" is a big ol' angry circle

Regarding the declining birth rate: Children are very expensive, and that is a 100% valid reason to delay or forego them. Children are also very annoying and loud and not cool to take on vacation or out to dinner, and that too is a 100% valid reason to delay or forego them.
