PS: The point here is NOT that poor people shouldn't have kids, it's that no one should be having kids without having the basics of childcare covered, which necessitates widespread systemic, societal, and economic change so that no parent needs to worry about those basics, and kids can grow up in secure, healthy environments. I completely forgot to mention this when I originally posted it, and that's my bad.
Personally, I think future generations are fine as long as they apply themselves and hobby hop and as long as we reinforce and appreciate the tenacity behind their hobby hopping.
When I was growing up there was no 3D printing, you weren't able to just make a dropshipping hobby and advertise on youtube like it was fucking nothing, I think twitch was just becoming a thing but the amount of money and influencers wasn't like it is now, hell influencers weren't a thing. It also looks like people adapt easily in today's world. I'm not worried about anything, they all have their adaptations and ways of doing their lives and that's fine.
I think it's good to leave a door of hope open for the next generations.
But as I've always said: What could get worse, can always get better. ๐
