With exceptions in cases like when a couple loses a child

Edit: in a scenario where everything is good. No wars, no famine.

I think with the cost of living, wars etc, the world population will begin to slow, then eventually lower. With or without a one/two child policy. Shit fucking sucks and I think people won’t be be able to afford kids soon. I am just grasping at straws here, and this is just personal opinion.

Due to economic, environmental, and cultural state and trends, my wife and I are choosing to not have children. Our dog is lovely. I will not spend my time and energy to give capitalists another generation of cheap labor just in time for this class to flee from rising sea levels, suffer malnutrition, and choke on contaminated air and water. I believe that it is inhumane to bring life into this world with the knowledge that they will endure the hardship and suffering that is so obviously coming.

We will sooner see throuples become socially acceptable in order to make rent than offer any real help to the working class. There is a pedophile running America and the American people are still policing bathrooms to protect against imaginary pedophiles. The priorities are beyond fucked.
