My peeps know I'm all over this issue. #GiftArticle
It is a problem nearly ALL wealthy nations will face including ours.
ALL of the governments' programs and programming is failing.
There is no way these governments can fix the problem. Of course decreasing population is great for the planet. They don't care about it.
They do care that it is cataclysmic for consumption based capitalism.
Oooops.

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN inflation has made that pipe dream impossible.

Capitalism is definitely more manageable when it’s regulated, we can at least tolerate it, but its history with children is questionable at best.
@damselfly59 I'd say we're there. Or we will be after the next election. @Siren_six @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
@Siren_six @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN we have paid family and medical leave in WA state. We pay mom up to 16 weeks for recovery and bonding and 12 weeks for dad or SO We are having a baby boom.
Capitalism was always supposed to be regulated. We have had decades of deregulation favoring the rich and unscrupulous. Likely take decades to change without a series of crisi.
