She works in government. Didn’t say doing what.

I see cats and boxes of wine in the refrigerator in her future as well as insisting that government take care of her.

People who can not have children are generally sad.

People who will not have children are generally hopeless.

Volek: "I'm always looking forward to the next thing," said Volek, who works in local government in San Francisco. "Being a parent was never one of them."

Proof that you don't have to die to live in hell. Her story gives me the shivers.

This selfish woman has a soul ugly as sin.

The women’s lib movement played havoc with women’s minds. In my mother’s family, a large family, all four of the women went to college. They chose careers as nurses or school teachers, married, and raised children. Some careers are better suited to raising children. Teachers have summers and holidays off, nurses often work four long days a week.

Now women have been herded into the idea that they have to be a high-powered lawyer or businesswoman who often works all weekends and may have a lot of travel for business.

There are more sensible ways of having a career and raising children than what women’s heads have been filled with. It should not have to be an all or nothing situation.

Not having children gives her a sense of freedom that her friends who are parents don't have. Now that they're vaccinated, she and her husband have been able to eat at restaurants, attend concerts and travel without worrying about risking their child's safety.

So, basically, you want the freedom to be 22 for the rest of your life while your friends who have become parents have grown up.

More and more of the younger generation their lives revolve around instant gratification and them, them, them. Plus lazy, no work ethic.

It's probably best that such people don't have children, don't you think?

Is it wrong that I want to thank this woman, for by making the choice to take herself out of the gene pool, she’s made the world a better place for my grandchildren?

“They should do an article as to why men don’t want to get married and have children anymore.”

*****

My kids are grown and out of the house, but I wouldn’t want to have little kids right now.

I’m expecting things to get worse.

There is a thin veneer of civility in our society and it won’t take much for it to rub off.

If the social fabric begins to tear, I don’t expect our betters will be either willing or able to do much about it. Best to be as light on your feet as you can, and raising kids was pretty demanding even back in the good old days.

By the way, if we did begin to experience the collapse of complex societies, either here or around the world in developed nations, would it not be real easy to look back and say, “We should have seen it coming! All the indications were there!”

Non-stop propaganda from schools, government, movies, tv and social media will do that. So will a bad childhood with no dad.

No doubt. Better for the kids they are deciding not to go there.

They are woke liberal and realize that if America is going to be saved . . . they have to stop reproducing.,

Nice! Let them do so.

They should do an article as to why men don’t want to get married and have children anymore. Of course they wouldn’t tell the truth because men are the cause of ALL problems dontcha know.

It's men who can't accept the truth, which is their collective pussy whipped capitulation is responsible for most of the discrimination and injustices they encounter.

I think Women are having fewer children because rabid leftists have taught women to hate men.

That or it’s because the left’s idiotic policies make people too poor to afford children.

It is probably both.

Perfectly fine with all parents who would teach their children a Leftist worldview not to have children.

Now if only those non-Leftists would make sure they are passing on good values instead of being passive about how the culture around their children may be affecting them.

“”I’m always looking forward to the next thing,” said Volek, who works in local government in San Francisco.”

So let’s lay this out: the psychopathic CNN Nazis interviewed some low-IQ, egomaniacal leftist who loves walking thru San Fran homeless crap and discarded needles, and they tried to pass off this deeply disturbed female as “normal.”
