I really like this comment because it says the quiet part out loud (like an unintended hot mic), the expectation that folks are going to kick out kids and it's entirely on the kids, existing through no choice of their own, to be subjected to a system that is built to extract from them decades of output until they're able to retire (if at all) or die.

"It is this way, has been this way, and you will like it or leave." With that said, it should come as no shock when various rejections of this idea take hold. How could one rationalize not attempting to critically re-evaluate the situation? What is all this progress for?

I can't imagine why the birth rate is falling in certain places so precipitously. /s We tell parents they should have expensive kids for the good of society. We tell kids they have to grow up and support themselves over a life time because that's the deal.
