re: I'm never having kids. All my Gen Z friends agree — we won't be parents in a world .....

Go ahead. Your metrics are always flawed, cherry picking dates, and completely purposely misconstrue the reality to push a false narrative. Yes, housing is up 40% in 2 years, as is home insurance. Food has doubled in price. Utilities are up nearly double. It is harder than ever to support a household on two incomes, let alone just one. Wages sure as shite haven’t kept up with that. I make a little more than I did 4 years ago, and I went from doing really well for a childless single adult to barely keeping myself alive while massively cutting back on my luxuries. The same money goes significantly less far, and the things young couples need are exploding in price much faster than wages. While you can find a safe house that after inflation costs the same as a new starter home in 1970, that home will be 90 minutes from the nearest major employment center and likely was built 40-60 years ago.

Often, the daycare decision is incredibly difficult because they can’t afford the daycare nor can they afford for a spouse not to work. This often leads to having to burden in-laws with a significant amount of childcare responsibilities.

That’s great that you know people who don’t utilize daycare. Happy for them.

I don’t want to be a SAHM. It’s not the life for me.

Here’s an idea: don’t be rude.

They won’t admit it, but they aren’t having kids because they are too selfish

Good. These people will breed themselves out of existence.

Brooklen Farley is a 25-year-old massage therapist in Texas who's decided not to have kids.

She's 25 years old and a "massage therapist". Already had the opportunity to be in the workforce for 9 total years (since 16 y.o.) and only found a job where happy endings tip better. Sounds to me like Brooklen Farley doesn't need kids to begin with.

Growing up, she thought she'd become a mother, but the realities of the world changed her mind.

---

What realities? Does she think men can be women and vice versa? Are those the "realities" she believes in? Was she born with a penis?

quote:

---

Because of the economy and the climate crisis, she's instead focused on her partner and her pets.

"Partner" and pets. And "climate crisis"? Ok, well that answered my questions. She is most definitely of the mind that men can be women and vice versa, and was likely born with a penis.

I am perfectly fine with people like this refusing to reproduce. I only wish they would self sterilize, or just opt out since the world is so terrible.

When mentally ill people remove themselves from the gene pool deliberately, I actually thank them because they're doing the future a favor.

The exception not the rule.

These women chase career over relationships and expect to find a triple6 man to take them on in theirs 30’s and deal with their obnoxious alpha female city bitch bullshite. They end up buried in cats, all alone and when asked, pretend they never wanted kids all along. Meanwhile many young men are useless titty babies who don’t have the social skills to get laid at a luau.

Good people who want love and family find a way.

Indeed. Most Zoomers seem unfit for parenthood. Theyre doing us favors.

bullshite. Prove it wrong, or STFU.

Here's the most recent article I could find (two weeks ago): Housing prices up 20% since Biden took office in 2021 Showing that housing prices have gone up 20%, not the 40% you just claimed.

quote:

---

Food has doubled in price.

---

I assume you mean in the past two years as well, since you didn't give a time frame. So below is a link that shows that food is also up 20%, not the 100% you just claimed.

Prices Since Biden Took Office

Now just on those two things alone, I think it's obvious who is full of bullshite and just makes stuff up that sounds good to support his assertion and who supports what they claim with facts, but let's keep talking.

Those are not good numbers and no one is claiming that they are (well, no one except the mainstream media carrying water for Biden and the Democrats who lie about everything they ever say).

However, that's a two year snapshot in time. This bellyaching about Gen Zers has been going on a lot longer than that.

So if you just want to make the point that we can't take another Biden presidency, I'm with you on that. That's why it doesn't matter to me who the nominee is as far as me voting for them...if it's Trump, he's got my vote. If it's Haley, Christie, DeSantis, someone I've never heard of, great, they've got my vote.

But if we're going to talk about the reality of Gen Z vs Gen X or Boomers then that involves looking at some data outside the past two years.

My Grandparents had my Dad in 1936 in the height of the Great Depression. He was the youngest of 10. They were dirt farmers and poor AF. Yet he got a scholarship to A&M, served almost 30 years in the military, and lived an amazing life.

The amazing thing to me is people like this who complain don't realize that if you looked at all of human history 99 plus percent of people would look at a day in her life as paradise.

It's all mental. It's kind of like how some of the most miserable people I have ever known are rich as hell.
