    No idea why people don’t want to pump out more than 2.1 units per woman.

    People living in significantly worse conditions have historically produced significantly more children.

    But the modern post-industrial lifestyle discourages people from having children primarily because of easy access to birth control. That means you can fuck without risk of having babies. For young people, this is a no-brainer. Condom use, UIDs, and hormonal birth control have tanked teenage/early-20s birth rates everywhere it has been introduced. Combine this with good health care, globally, and many people no longer fear they will lose half their children to some infant malady or childhood accident. Low Child Mortality -> Lower Propensity to Have Kids.

    If you want higher rates of reproduction in your population, you need younger people having babies. And you need more people convinced that the kids they do have won’t live to see adulthood.

    Say what you will about the current Trump government, but we’re definitely moving in those directions.

      Right-wing bullshit propaganda. Freedumb of screech for beta males who can’t recognise they’re being controlled by wealthy, Christian nationalists, but freedom of choice for women is a problem.

      The earlier women have kids, the greater the chance they will not have a degree, be successful earlier in their carrier and the greater risk of being controlled, and that’s exactly your goal. You and your kind just want obedient, subservient women who don’t talk back and suck your tiny stinky peckers when you need it.

      Keep your pedophile hands away from the kids. Grow a modicum of self-respect to stop bending over backwards to suck Epstein class dick and spreading their filthy propaganda.
