    100% serious: if policy makers are actually concerned about this, one of their first steps should be instituting universal basic income. I know a lot of people in their 20s-30s right now who want to be parents, but genuinely can’t /afford it/.https://twitter.com/BBCScienceNews/status/1283208011276791808 …

        Where's the benefit to them, though? That would just mean more people they have to try to kill off.

        They even say in the 1950s women had more kids. Well, let’s look at the norm: a single income household could sustain a family of 5, that income was proportionate to COL. Now a single income can barely support the person earning it, COL is high, wages stagnated. HMM...

        i doubt I'll ever be able to afford a kid, but beyond that--so long as the world is so outright cruel, i would never bring a child into it to suffer. it's more than just a financial feasibility thing for me at least.

        Definitely this too. A lot of would-be parents I know are also really concerned about raising a child today, knowing that a global climate crisis will be in their future.

        It's bananas how much more affordable it is for me and my partner to foster. Govt insurance for our kiddo, food assistance for him, daycare provided, clothing allowance - this is exactly the kind of support every family should have!!

        In Illinois at least, it's easier to get assistance and support as a foster parent than as a biological parent which doesn't make sense. There's a shift (long overdue) to focusing on keeping families intact and upping services but our previous governor
