“People want choices” is a great way to say “people are squeezed and can’t afford it”

If governments want people to have children, governments need to redistribute wealth such that people can manage it. Few people are going to have kids when they’re living in a rooming house, spending most of their wage on rent while their landlords and grocery-store owners and other oligarchs make millions.

If it wasn’t so tragic, it would be funny watching capitalists freak out about declining birth rates, since their greed is the cause of them.
