Waiting until you are almost middle aged to have a replacement number of children (which will reduce population) also has the doubling effect of spreading generations out over a longer period of time. If people are waiting until atleast 30 years old or more, then you had better live to well beyond the average lifespan to even see grand children. Having a living memory of your grandparents goes a long way to preserve culture and stopping the degeneration of society.

Meanwhile Muslims spit out a new generation every 16-20 years.

And there is the distinct chance that Grandma will no longer be around to help out. Add in expensive daycare and more travel to the list of stressors mothers will have to endure.

People can't afford to have one breadwinner anymore, besides the already established boomers and older Gen X

I agree, and we can all thank the endless inflation for that.

I knew that, but didn’t get a lot of time with them like some kids do. Lived far away from them. Kinda sucked compared to other kids I knew who saw their GPs all the time.

This is a problem that cannot be fixed without serious economic reform. The cheapest apartments around my area are about 1,000 a month, less money than I take home making about a dollar above minimum wage.

Let alone buying a house. I've seen single story houses that go for about half a million dollars around here. Nobody can afford that in their 20s unless they start selling weed and various other drugs, which undoubtedly is what a lot of them are doing, further corrupting their morals and landing them in the slammer.

I don't think you will find anyone here that will argue against this. I've seen countless reports and news stories over the years that all talk about how much more productive Americans are than other nations, yet the standard of living always seems to be going down, especially where it matters the most.
