If the rinos stay out of the President’s way, optimism will return with Trump’s policies and happy parents make more babies! Few want to bring kids into a difficult, depressing world with little future for them.
Hi Peter, have you looked into the pro-natal policies of Lee Kuan Yew in Singapore? He did everything he could to increase Singapore birthrates, including all sorts of government incentives and public cajoling, and he failed. Singapore birthrates remain basically the lowest in the world along with Hong Kong.
Sometimes issues are deeper than economics, relating to religion and worldview and outlook. Urban areas are "IQ shredders" which attracts the smartest who have much fewer children than replacement - this is across time and culture...
Personally, I'm much more worried about the ongoing Holocene extinction event (basically the total destruction of the environment) than I am about declining populations not being able to contribute to civilization's economic ponzi schemes pushing forever growth: https://neofeudalreview.substack.com/p/the-sad-skinsuiting-of-the-environmental
There’s a darker side to the story… The Malthusian influence on the Deep State puppeteers. The Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates global depopulationists.
Look at the “Women’s Reproductive Rights” movement, also euphemistically called “Pro-Choice”. You need to see what happens to a fetus in late-term abortions - no choice for the fully-formed and fully-aware baby.
Then, there’s state-sponsored (and encouraged) suicide. In Canada, the euphemism for that is “MAID” (medical assistance in death). However, the politicians need voters and taxpayers, and industry needs low-paid, compliant workers, so western countries increase immigration without requisite control, nor sufficient, supportive infrastructure. (I’m getting depressed, just writing about it…)
Here is the best way to get women to have children and to raise them to become productive citizens: pay them a decent wage for their 24/7 work.
Parents have the hardest, most important job in the world. If you doubt that, look again at the statistics. Women don't want the job of running a home with kids anymore ... they can earn a better living and enjoy life in a different career. Don't you remember how the feminists told us stay-at-home moms were losers?
Parenting is a career and must be respected and revered as the most important role in society that any person can have. Everyone must start talking about parenting with great respect and appreciation, rewording and praising those who have done a good job and turned out healthy, respectful, skills adults.
Everytime I meet a young person who is obviously well brought up, I tell them to thank their mom for making them such wonderful people. Every time I run into a parent doing a good job, I praise their great work for society.
Women must be paid for their work, and hard work it is. Otherwise, they are nothing more than slaves to society. They are baby-sitters, managers, organizers, teachers, cleaners, first responders for everything, and so on after they give birth, having carried the child for 9 months, which is usually a very uncomfortable endeavour.
They are worth at least what the typically Ontario municipal employee is worth: $120,000 per year, plus benefits and a pension.
Oh my, I can hear the pink-haired idiots gasping for air already ...
It is amazing that we are the only species that has given up on the driving element of evolution, namely propagation of our DNA. Certainly the egalitarian indoctrination that everybody is just as good as the next one and that it is not important if the child is yours plays a role. We are also being told that "just having fun" is a guiding life concept and spirituality or religion is something that only hicks do. The success of your kids used to be your pride in having contributed something good to society, now you are told that you are selfish and "it's a crime to bring kids into this awful world".
Once folks without kids were seen as failures, which they are in an evolutionary sense, now it's the "smart" move.
Since the proliferation and even celebration of "birth control", from the pill to late term abortion, we are now in a position of enjoying natures incentive to have children, namely the sex act, without fulfilling its purpose, which is to have children. On top of that we encourage homosexuality and even celebrate it with parades, which is akin to indulging in food without any nutritional value. The end result is in either case is the same, the body is starved.
How about ending globalist policies that are destroying fertility and even families that already exist? You will never turn around a population back-trend unless you have enough people able to make babies...both men and especially women. We are losing that ability.
I still believe that if we reach some sort of peak population, than it will be lights out as the trip down the other side of the slope will be unstoppable. This is exactly what the anti-human globalists want.
I would never trust ANY government to save humanity as all throughout history they have been trying to destroy it.
As someone with a government pension, I can say it has absolutely nothing to do with me being childless. In fact, the promise of a pension might make a person feel more secure about spending money raising children.
Most childless women wanted kids, and a lot of women who can't find partners are going to great lengths to freeze their eggs. Read "Motherhood on Ice." Men are falling behind educationally and careerwise globally and this is creating big problems in terms of people coupling up.
And medical products that are crippling fertility make me think that the "people in charge" want less humans on the planet so are happy about this population decline..
Hi Peter, I would very much be interested in hearing your thoughts on my book.
“It explores the ethical complexities of interspecies relations through the lens of an advanced alien civilization called the Jacksons. The novel challenges readers to consider how easily a more advanced civilization might view humans as a resource, mirroring humanity’s own treatment of other species on Earth.
If the rinos stay out of the President’s way, optimism will return with Trump’s policies and happy parents make more babies! Few want to bring kids into a difficult, depressing world with little future for them.
You echo my thoughts. Government everywhere means kids nowhere.
Unfortunately, right now the biggest RINO in Trump's way is Trump himself.
IF/when robots soon takes lots of jobs....women can stay home....
The real question is...Will Robots...pay wage taxes....and...WHO owns them...
UBI....or...CAOS

Great comment! It's a real attack on the family for sure.
Use the propaganda mill to promote having children, sacrificing to raise them, and being happy with less.
No more glorifying enlightened hedonism, instead work to be a good and responsible person.
It’s possible to change people’s attitudes by engaging the media manipulation machine for good

What a surface level post
Guatemalans are still having kids which is one reason we like living here.
As someone with a government pension, I can say it has absolutely nothing to do with me being childless. In fact, the promise of a pension might make a person feel more secure about spending money raising children.

This is not by accident . Once you understand there are deeper forces at play you understand why the conditions are created
Feminism !
Fertility is inversely correlated with income.
Paying people to have kids doesn't work.
Dear Peter
Welcome... I was the first person who wrote about this, 25 years ago.
Homo Sapiens Population Is Crashing
Culling The Herd Since 1987
The population of Homo sapiens peaked when we added 87,014,000 in 1987.
Every year since 1987 fewer and fewer people have been added to the population.

I'm sure Bill Gates is loving those stats.
