There is actually fodder here for a real discussion about the birthrate, and young people who skew towards being more liberal are not dating or engaging in sex nearly as much as in the past. But no one here can resist the urge to just sling insults at the others party.

Have you listened to what young people are saying about why they aren't having kids?

Seems like any reasonable person would start there.

The Main Reason Why Fewer People Are Having Kids
In not having children, as in staying single, adults are following their hearts.
Updated July 27, 2024
Key points
The number-one reason people under 50 don't have kids is that they just don't want to.
The expense and concern about the state of the world are factors in the decision not to have kids.
Some people don't like children or simply prefer to pursue other interests and goals in life.

When asked why they are unlikely to have children, the top answer for adults younger than 50 is that they just don't want to. Over half of these adults (57%) say this is a major reason, much higher than the share of adults 50 and older who say the same (31%).

Similarly, by differences of 12 to 25 percentage points, those in the younger group are more likely than those ages 50 and older to say each of the following is a major reason they are unlikely to have children:

They want to focus on other things (44% vs. 21% in the older group)
Concerns about the state of the world (38% vs. 13%)
They can't afford to have a child (36% vs. 12%)
They don't really like children (20% vs. 8%)

Fahrenheit 451

Idaho and British Columbia share two border crossings: www.braufranken.de

I wouldn't be surprised if CBSA inspectors began denying entry to Americans who can't prove they were vaccinated.

Good thing no FIFA games are scheduled for Idaho, but as we see, diseases have a way of rapidly spreading.
