Many young people today, both men and women, just don’t see marriage and family life as something to strive for in life.

Many young people are focused on careers, and that’s fine to a point, but they don’t make time to ever settle down.

I can see this trend in a few friends of the family. One family I know of, the parents of greatest generation age, had three children who were Baby Boom age. The three children of baby boom age produced seven grandchildren in that family.

The grandchildren that family, all of whom are in their late 30s and early forties now, produced exactly one child in the Next Generation.

Another friend of the family had four children of baby boom age. Those four children produced two grandchildren. And those two grandchildren never had children, so that family line has ended.

It seems like a lot of young people just aren’t interested in marriage and children.

Young guys are getting redpilled. It's 50/50 chance that they'll lose everything if they get married. Why bother?

The solution to low birth and high divorce rates, and poor mating and parenting choices, is so simple even a caveman could do it: pass a law giving all social security related paycheck deductions to the parents, as long as they stay married, instead of Fedzilla to waste. That restores the natural return on investment for raising children to parents, the rightful recipients.
