- micahdeath 2y agoThis site is terrible (never used it before) - I can't tell what is article and what is an advertisement. Even the bold text doesn't appear to have purpose.
- lax4ever 2y agoBuzzfeed is about as reputable and easy to use as The Daily Wire. I wouldn't put much stock in anything it 'reports'.
- fullshark 2y agoA text transcript of a tiktok video. The leadership / capital owners of the US/Canada don't really care about the impact of declining birth rates and plan to solve the projected labor pool shortage issue with immigration. Everything is just about making sure the citizens don't rebel in response. Not sure what countries like Korea and Japan plan to do.
- delichon 2y agoIf costs are the reason for lower fertility why are fertility rates highest in poor countries where such things (food, child care, health care) are even less affordable?

- quantified 2y agoI'm guessing a little, but expectations might be different. The more affluent you are, the more you might care about losing affluence. The less affluent you are, the less you have to lose. Child care can be social as well as remunerated. Grandparents and aunties don't cost you cash. They are social wealth. Is food really more expensive for people in poor countries? You might not eat a European or North American diet, but aren't staples generally affordable in the absense of political and/or economic crises?
