I think a lot has to do with women being more educated, and given choices they have never been given in the past. It’s not about hopelessness. Not everyone wants to procreate and that should be fine.
On campaign stops I ask for a show of hands if someone’s heard young people say they’re not gonna have kids cuz they don’t see how they can make it happen given the economy, environment etc. Several always do. Such hopelessness should not exist in the richest country in the world

. Even if we reversed climate change and perfected our individual and collective economic standings, most people I know who don't want children would not change that stance. - 1 more reply

sorry to say, the economy won't matter if we do not first have a "sustainable livable planet" for which to "feed, nourish" the children. For too long we have lived with "economy vs. environment!". It's too long overdue to put our environment first!

The national debt has increased by 8 trillion dollars since DT took office. This booming economy is a frickin illusion.

I see despair as I interact with people in their 20’s and 30’s. Among the younger veterans I counsel, I hear anger and futility couched in questions like, “I gave the best years of my life, and my friends sacrificed it all for what? To witness the death of our nation and world?”

It's not hopelessness; it is incandescent ignorance, Marianne.
