Americans shrug over falling birthrate
As the number of births declines year-on-year, a large percentage of childless Americans are not planning to have any children.
You're viewing a single thread.
We don’t need more slaves to capitalism.
And that is exactly what they're concerned about.
And yet, not concerned enough to make the quality of life any better where people want to have children. Its like the greed is getting in the way of their ability to be more greedy in the future.
Cheaper to just force you to have children

late-stage capitalism in a nutshell
We've been at the point where the people at the top (who are there only from nepotism/luck) are heavily rewarded for screwing over the thing they're a part of (and everyone in it) in the long term. And our government fuels the cycle by spending trillions in subsidies and bailouts and stuff for companies after executives & stockholders make them implode.
The people who control for-profit organizations generally don't have much of an incentive to do what's best for the company. Just to do what's best for them and jump ship when things start to go south.
And a falling human birth rate is good for the environment
Yeah as long as that loss in workforce isn’t replaced by massive AI computing. Corporations are far worse for the environment than people.
Ah, just noticed which instance this post was on.
