If, say, gold was discovered in Honduras and the nation became rich and immigrants started flocking to Honduras because an uneducated person could feed his family there, then the lack of white people having kids would be something the media would be SCREAMING about.
I've been trying to come up with a similar analogy.
I wouldn't even say they'd be screaming about it - I bet if people having kids suddenly became immensely profitable, they'd flip a switch on what we see in the media and within a couple of months women would suddenly be horny and aggressively seeking out men to have kids with.
There's something in humans that cause/diminishes desire for sex based on messages from the social group. Probably tribes of people survived who didn't have kids when famine was coming and did have kids when prosperity was on the horizon.
If it was beneficial for themselves for people to have kids I'd bet they know exactly how to change the messaging to accomplish that.
There's no way it's a money thing, or at least not in the conventional sense. People can afford to have kids, they just can't afford the other consequence of having them - a messy divorce within 5 years at best with a loss of 50% of all assets followed by heavily garnished wages.
Yes, but it's not just that. Feminism has fucked up all the stages of the gender dynamic, not just the endgame. Even approaching a woman is harassment if she doesn't find you attractive, and the socio-legal environment governing gender relations takes any benefit out of relationship for the man from beginning to end. Then there's the fact that the modern woman isn't worth chase, thanks to the sexual liberation movement making them all fat and entitled.
The spike in housing, education, and medical costs have absolutely destroyed Millennials’ ability to start & raise families. They missed the boat in the late 00s and all the 2010s. Divorce, feminism, immigration, hedonism, all have a part to play, but the root cause is economic.

Problem is they could start it up but not turn it off when they wanted?

"It's the economy, stupid!"
In 40 years time, Millennials are either going to be labelled The Forgotten Generation or "The Lazy Generation" as a slur.
At every key milestone that previous generations also had, Millennials were skipped over, repressed or blamed for.
Agreed.
