So where are all the gender benders going to get babies to adopt?

We will die eventually but lifespan will be greatly extended. Essentially aging is a disease and we will find a cure.

Americans don’t want to raise their kids in Mexico 2.0 and that’s what we quickly turning into. Plus endless homosexual and tranny propaganda....it’s just not a good environment for families

Not to worry...We may be producing less offspring but the ones we are producing are increasingly heavyweights. In time , we will dominate the Sumo world. And, hopefully, service in the armed forces will only amount to button pushing and clicking. /s

...Nearly 1 in 3 kids or teens in the U.S. are overweight or obese, nearly three times the number in 1963... source

“The United States hit a record-low birth rate in 2019, and research since the lockdowns suggests 2020 and 2021’s birth rates will drop even further.”

Not to worry. With the democrats open borders policy we’ll have as many people as China in a couple of years.

“Taxes and inflation have destroyed the value of our earnings.”

Ain’t that the truth. Rather than inflation though I’d say more like pandemic price gouging and democrats squashing our energy industries.

My wife underpaid her state income taxes by $1255 this year. If subtracted from her "take home", she would be even more disheartened. I have her putting as much into her retirement as possible to reduce her taxable income.

I'm entertaining retirement on Dec 31, 2022. I'll be 66 1/2 at that point. SS at max and 31 years at my current employer. Hopefully my 401k is still in good shape at that point.

There’s no cure for aging, or for death. We’ve already solved most of the issues that led to shortened lifespans like malnutrition and such, and we are already living longer than our brains are designed to last. We’re not going to be pushing it farther than that, and even if we could, we’d just be drooling vegetables in a body, so it wouldn’t be worth it.

50’s were as good as it will ever get. Somehow I felt much more at ease with Ike as president than say ...oh I don’t know..Obama, Biden. In those days you barely noticed the existence of the federal government. Now the sonsofbitches are meddling in and bollixing up everything.

I have money or time, but never both concurrently. There is no time to enjoy the toys I can afford to purchase. The net result is I'm buying a lot less now. There is no balance between life and work.

And here I was thinking the birth rate had collapsed because no one in their right mind would want to bring up a child in the bankrupt, rigged-election, totalitarian, communist, gender dysphoric, crime ridden, anti-meritocratic, upside down, third-world crap hole that used to be the USA.

Lower taxes so one income can support a family and you’ll see larger families.

of course, this is well known.

That’s certainly part of it. The other part is men who think marrying someone who pulls in a paycheck is the only option. Lots of young men out there think a wife who’s a homemaker is on welfare.
For the wives of said men having children is a burden. These guys think child care is women’s work.

Inflation.
My allowance in 1967 was $.25 per week.
That is $1.97 today.
That is 687.5% inflation since 1967.

Though that's true most women still would not leave their work or career. Few today want to be full time mothers....except the many on welfare who keep having children to increase their benefits.....or have children to gain benefits.

My experience is young women are brainwashed to validate themselves with career

Then biology comes along early 30s and usually upends that

All that college money wasted.....

At least in the south

Does anyone here know what percentage of married docs still practice a forty hour week after babies start

It’s a I think about 28%

Think of all those men who lost a slot to her....through social engineering quotas

Now on the other hand..the lower socioeconomic classes aren’t encumbered by such lofty notions and have babies like rabbits damn the consequences and usually in mid teens

Even though black women also abort at rates even alpha career women can’t emulate

Women. In general have been destroyed by culture....some fight back but they are so screwed up

It’s pitiful

Lexapro is now your best friend....hell I’d hate to have to navigate all the crap culture has had them swallow

Foisted upon them by non breeders who never went to prom and nobody asked out and who’s only reproductive option was once frowned upon

Those women pushed their own neurosis and unhappiness on the rest....and with damming consequence for all of us

Next lesson is Wardaddys opine on how women today live in a false construct of security that allows this hysteria to manifest

Women are preoccupied with safety and security and self....fear

We don’t accommodate that like we used to
