while the problems in society that have led to a negative birthrate go unexamined.
Blame the Jews, blame the economy, blame whatever the fuck you like, but the fact is, in 2008, the birth rate was higher, despite the massive recession.
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.
You can dance around the truth as long as you like, but the fact is, nobody considers having children with a woman and that whole tradcon bullshit to be worth the financial and mental health risks involved.
Even in the booming Trump economy - the birth rate fell. Whatever increases an ATH in all three major indices could do, it wasn't enough to make it rise.
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.

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.
