- theshrike79 2y agoEven though there is a good social safety net and worker protections, kids are still relatively expensive in both time and money. Nobody _wants_ to neglect their kid because their job requires 10-12 hours of their time per day. Nobody wants their kid to not have the things they want because they can't afford it. There still are people who literally YOLO kids and somehow make do, others consider and wait for The Best Time and poof they're 40 and in line for IVF.

- readthenotes1 2y agoThere have been tyrants through the ages who have killed tens of thousands of people without repercussion and the Survivors still had kids..
- GoToRO 2y agoI lived under such a tyrant and what people don't realize it's just how peaceful it is. Sure, economically the whole country was shit and you were not allowed to say the tyrant was a tyrant, but everything else was butter smooth. Now I feel it's too much noise but also actual randomness (now we hire, now we fire) and it's hard to have any real stability.
