Only if net taxpayers. Otherwise, you’re subsidizing permanent welfare cases to raise more permanently unproductive people.

PJW is solid Western Civ conservative; I’ve seen all his vids but there are some stylistic issues.

Hard to get past that accent. Took me forever to comprehend Mark Steyn, too.

A coat & dress shirt beat a T-shirt anytime, and maybe not getting right up in the camera’s face.

Obama captured it when he said of his daughters, “I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

Sure, if we are all okay with our entitlement schemes collapsing.

Add to that the cost of raising children and the Left’s ability to tax EVERYTHING and it does become a burden. Not to mention the high divorce rate...

True, gone are the days when families relied on large broods to help out on the family farm too.

“can’t afford it” is most often a function of priorities.
I’m the oldest of 9 and only the oldest at home had their own room.
We weren’t fashion plates at school.
Mom stayed home and took care of the house and kids. “

Can’t compare decades ago to now.

-Health insurance average cost per month for family $2500-2800
-you can buy a less expensive house but it’s a less desireable neighborhood/ ghetto with crappy schools
-college cost is prohibitive
-everything is more expensive than 40 years ago on a exponential scale.

He said, she said. Impossible to tell who was telling the truth. Awful outcome.

“We couldn’t afford it either. But we had six. And somehow, we’re making ends meet without a six-figure income or government assistance. Funny that.”

Depends where you live. My one niece lives in the outskirts of DC where a <$600k house gets you a ghetto neighborhood.

You cannot live in her area on a less than 6 figure salary. it’s impossible.

The message feminists put out starting in the 60s-70s that women should pursue a career first and finding a marriage partner second - and its uptake by lots of American women - has greatly exacerbated the decline in the birth rate.

Since more women than men now pursue higher education, that means there will be fewer men earning higher salaries. Most women naturally want the man to earn at least as much as they do if not more for reasons of status. Women are far more status conscious than men are.

Conversely, men strongly prefer younger women. Again, this is natural and is not going to ever change. Thus a college educated 30 something woman is not going to be anywhere near as attractive to most men as a similarly attractive woman who is 10 years younger.

Neither sex is willing to budge on those two issues. The result is a standoff and no marriage and no kids. If we want to reverse the declining birth rate we need to encourage couples to get married earlier and not put it off til later.

The Mexican birthrate has fallen from 6 kids per woman to 2 kids per woman. Funnily enough (not) they tend to have 3 kids in the U.S. The muslim birthrate is also falling, though not nearly fast enough for me.

I believe that’s why the country club repubs and democraps both support Open Borders. They know that they’re schemes for continued economic growth and/or Government entitlements are gone if we don’t import millions of foreigners.

Yep. The reason I remember that case is that that case is what prompted the use of metal detectors.

Well, that and his final response suggests desperation. Guys don’t normally kill over this sort of thing. My recollection was that she was trying to financially fleece him and it was looking as if she would prevail. So he ended it for both of them.

"No country experiencing urbanization and development has been able to counter this trend [collapse of birth rate.]"

That's largely true, but not quite 100%. As far as I know, Israel stands alone, with a total fertility rate of 3.1, as the *only* developed country with a TFR above replacement.

And the Israeli Jewish fertility rate recently topped the Israeli Arab rate for the first time in the nation's history.

Good work, Jewish brothers and sisters!

It's not just women who have decided to stop having children. Many men have realized that in today's culture, having a wife is a liability, not an asset. And having a wife with children now imposes an even greater burden (and risk) on men.

The Left has done a good job of destroying the family as the basic social unit.

Marriage is nowhere near as stable as it was 50, even 30 years ago.

Women fear putting aside a career and earnings to instead invest themselves in child rearing, only to have the man leave them for a younger model and leave them in the lurch.

And statistically those fears are very valid. I for one and quite relieved that my daughters got educations and careers before they got married. If God forbid their marriages fall apart they’ll still be able to support themselves.
