A guide to raising birth rates from article.
Increase these : libraries, public schools, public parks, and public broadcasting
Decrease these: worried about whether he will lose his job,or if our kids’ school will lose funding, or if our neighbors will be deported, or if our gay and trans friends will be stripped of more of their rights, or if the air quality will get so bad that we will all be forced into being stay-at-home everyones,
Brilliant article that highlights many issues. (There are other issues, but this is a good list.)
"Home" being the operative word there, yep. The elusive gremlin throughout the embedded theme is cloaked in "stay-at-home", etc., but it's intrinsically more like "stay-alive". Hence, "getting pregnant", etc. has more to do with "do I/we have spare resources (eg. time, patience, mental/emotional fortitude, hope, financial security, etc.) to succeed at that plan/accident" than the stated phrase declares, NGL. 🥲🤢
