Just like trigger warnings aren’t effective and actually make things worse…

Poor people would join in
People don’t understand taxes, they were talking about it on the radio yesterday and people who make less than 50k/year think this will increase their taxes…
And the conjoined twins on the left
Does diesels with over a million miles count?
There’s plenty of gas and diesel cars that can also last pretty much forever if we apply the same logic of “having to replace parts doesn’t count”…
US citizens were pretending to be Canadians back in the day
You keep using the word fascist but I don’t think you understand what it means… The fact that this was voted on and the party was divided is proof that it isn’t fascism
Or simply accept that population will go down
Bingo and people here can’t wrap their head around that
It’s the same story in all countries as they become developed, access to birth control and people having other more interesting shit to do means they don’t want to have kids, no matter how easy it is for them.
Finland: 1910 to 1930 4.7 to 2.4, 1950 to 1975 3.4 to 1.6, between 1.5 and 1.9 since then.

Look at Canada’s numbers the second the pill becomes available in the 60s (years before Reaganomics and at a time where people were still able to make it on a single income)

UK, going down since the end of the industrial revolution

People just don’t want enough kids to renew the population when they’re given the choice to do something else, it’s that simple.
Heck, increased income is associated with decreased fertility, it’s been known for decades at this point! How come the rich don’t have tons of kids? They don’t have to stress about money, right? How come poor people have more kids than the middle class? It’s not as if they have a surplus of cash or can afford to only have one parent working, right?
Look at historical data, birthrate just goes down as nations develop, it’s true everywhere no matter how taxed the rich are or how much fertility programs exist. The whole world isn’t the USA.
A US President straying from diplomatic norms? How could that happen? 😱
Eco anxiety wasn’t a thing in the 70s and 80s, birthrate in rich nations was still under 2 for locals.
Exactly my point in another message, there are people desperate to get out of their overpopulated country and countries where they need new people yet leaders can’t do the math.
It won’t make people have enough kids to renew the population though otherwise birthrate would have been higher than it was in the 70s and 80s
Even with a parent at home people weren’t having enough kids to renew the population from the moment they had access to birth control methods.
Why has birthrate been lower than 2 in most developed countries starting in the 60s/70s even if there were social programs and people were able to afford to have a family with a single salary?
Maybe people who don’t have access to birth control have accidents and they need to deal with the consequences and in fact, when given the choice, people don’t have enough kids to renew the population? Crazy, right?
And then you plan to force people to have kids too? Because otherwise it’s not going up.
