I mean, even if you're financially well off, your income isn't going to make you blind to things like climate collapse or the prevalence of right wing neonazis.
There are a lot more factors than just money that make this planet not a suitable place to raise children.
Sure, but we know about that because we tend to be more educated. My point was that money alone isn't the only reason we aren't having more kids. Thank you for agreeing with me. The way I put it could have used more examples.
Yeah idk why you're getting downvoted so hard. My post was just a piggy-back off of yours, not a rebuttal or anything. /shrug.
Maybe my demeanor. I'm prickly sometimes and I apologize for that. Maybe I wasn't being clear. It could have come across that I was suggesting that education needed to be reduced. I didn't mean to suggest that, or anything else that assigned fault to the poor or the educated. Maybe my anecdotes didn't back it up or sounded pompous. I apologize if I sounded combative.
