You can't sustain an economy without continuously adding more people.
You don't grow or sustain an economy with people who are low IQ, uneducated, and unskilled and don't speak English. You also don't grow or sustain an economy with a huge Welfare State and Social Safety net or by people who use Emergency Rooms as their Primary Care doctors, Public Schools to 'teach' their illiterate kids, or people who live in the shadows and pay no State or Federal income taxes. That model isn't sustainable with over 330 million people. Something has to give eventually.

There really is no other way that I can see every bit of what’s going on in our country these days than to recognize that as fact, and it’s evidence is everywhere you look.

My first is turning one next week. I can’t tell you how many times my friends have told me they don’t want to raise kids in this world.
A. Why are you telling me that? Kind of rude
B. Kind of a pussy way to look at it
I can’t wait to have more.

It seems like the majority of people in their 20's and 30's have given up on the traditional American family lifestyle in exchange for travel, pets, and material.
Marriage and a traditional family unit are for the upper-middle class and above.
Millennials and Gen Z are facing ever-increasing roadblocks to moving into the upper-middle class, so, obviously, marriage and traditional families aren't really options.

Its a shame really.
We should be incentivizing marriage and faithfulness and bringing up children who will be an asset to the country. Instead we promote poor people having piles of fatherless kids.
Its horrible. My wife and I could raise our income ~60k per year if we'd get a divorce but stay cordial. That's not good.

He didn't say go to Mars.
We are meant to fill this place, consume it, burn it and then ourselves out. End game.

Sure you can, especially if that native population has moved to an advanced economy. You think we need PhD-level intellects doing construction?

Well no shite, but we can't do much to thwart Medicare or Social Security, so we're stuck with them.

Me and the fiancée will start trying to have a baby soon as we are married in October. Thankfully neither of us got the covid vax

My wife and I played in our 20's. I was 31&32 when my boys were born. I love being a dad and we are raising them in church.
It bothers me when I see or hear parents bragging about or wanting time away from their kids. Maybe that's because of my job, but I spend as much time with mine as I can.

They enrich your life, not your bank account.

Well, I can tell you that I always always wanted children, as far back as I can remember really, I so wanted a family. I married but my wife couldn’t have children, and I convinced myself that it was OK for a long time, and it was somewhat in that it’s not the main reason I married her, but I still wanted kids. We ended up getting divorced when she left to go find herself or whatever, and I never remarried, but not having kids is a major regret of mine. As a Christian, I’d encourage you to pray about His will. Mid 30’s is FAR from getting late in life these days. I think children are a real blessing, but I also think that if I had kids today, then I’d have a game plan in place to move far away from the urban environment and have my kids in private schools or more than likely home schooled. I certainly would NOT leave them in the hands of these deviants teaching kids today in public education.

Seeing farms / hunting land where I grew up turning into subdivision… I have no problems with less people. I don’t have kids, but it’s not because of pets or material things. I’m perfectly content with my life the way it is.
