And the general destruction of the middle class. My parents were teen parents and while it was tough, they could afford it. I can't afford a kid at all, and I've worked my ass off.
But yeah, stress, depression, fear, anger, chemical and hormonal imbalances, climate change, fascism, overworked and underpaid bs, attacks on bodily autonomy, surveillance and tracking, the death of 3rd places, the poverty of free time, unaffordable housing, unaffordable transportation, hours-long commutes, staggering wealth inequality, state violence, white nationalists endless wars, etc... I don't blame anybody for putting off or entirely deciding against having children

My conspiracy theory is that declining birthrates aren't actually caused just by personal choices and trends like women becoming more educated. My conspiracy theory is that global birth rates are actually plummeting due to industrial pollution, and it's being blamed on individual actions and choices rather than the actual environmental problems at the root of it.
