Like Ms. McKay, a growing number of U.S. adults say they are unlikely to raise children, according to a study released on Thursday by the Pew Research Center. When the survey was conducted in 2023, 47 percent of those younger than 50 without children said they were unlikely ever to have children, an increase of 10 percentage points since 2018.
When asked why kids were not in their future, 57 percent said they simply didn’t want to have them. Women were more likely to respond this way than men (64 percent vs. 50 percent). Further reasons included the desire to focus on other things, like their career or interests; concerns about the state of the world; worries about the costs involved in raising a child; concerns about the environment, including climate change; and not having found the right partner.
The only thing that will convince these people is to receive the excessive money those millionaires and billionaires we have today around the world don’t really deserve. I’d have children if it was easy, but fuck that. It’s better to hurt the upper class by not giving them cheap hand labour anymore, and I know they don’t like to hire the poorest people possible either because of a lot of henious reasons.
I am glad this is another reason for why they’re getting so fucked, slowly, but fucked
