And what is that biggest reason? Why the clickbait op?
tldr, capitilist oligarchs (helped along by dumbshit neolibs) have turned everything into speculation and rent-seeking. people can't afford to have kids
Anna Louie Sussman seems to like clickbait, and I don't editorialize. According to her, the biggest reason is uncertainty. Here, the reason would be rather certainty of collapse we're experiencing.
Yes, it seems obvious that the populace - apart from the Musks and Trumps of the world - see little possibility for a better life for their hypothetical children than they had, having experienced the ongoing crises of the 21st century, and therefore make the choice to not bring them into the world.
