Why people below 30 are living the roommates + Tinder life instead of getting married, buying a house, and having kids. It's not a lifestyle choice...https://twitter.com/JordanUhl/status/1203745713341042688 …

Japan has a birthrate of 1.44 (far below replacement rate of 2.1), is becoming an elderly nation, and may eventually die off. It's an entirely fixable political problem. Young people in every rich country do in fact want a house, financial stability, & kids. Just can't afford it.

How do we fix it? Free childcare, free education up to college, some free college options, *build more housing*, stop treating housing as an investment vehicle for boomers, tax breaks for having kids

Sounds expensive? Just like for fighting climate change, it's entirely affordable for rich countries. It's just a matter of prioritizing long-term collective survival instead of the short-term comfort of the ruling generation

And a support for singles would be helpful. Sounds hilarious, but I mean it.

Why only some free college? Free public universities is feasible

There is another way. Maybe, we millennials, as a generation, should dig down deeper and make our way in the world instead of being passive whiners who wait on someone else to solve their problems.

Possible, but doesn't Finland have most of the fixes you mentioned (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/07/opinion/sunday/finland-socialism-capitalism.html …) but I don't think they have that much higher birthrate?

...And yes, many of the social policies you speak of, like free education up until college, make sense and have shown remarkable results in many european countries (Finland springs to mind)...

...but with that being said, we need to acknowledge that we need a cultural change. We, millennials, really need to start fighting more and demanding less.
