US fertility reached 1.57 last year, the lowest ever recorded, and the WSJ explanation is "uncertainty about finances, relationship stability, and the political climate" my great grandma had eleven children during the second world war, in a country being bombed, in a house with no running water, on rations. poor people have always had kids. the poorest people on earth right now still have kids and the financial excuse is a story we tell ourselves because it makes us feel good and the real one is unbearable the real mechanism is that we got rich enough to redefine children as an expense instead of the point. somewhere in the last fifty years the cultural goal inverted and a child stopped being what life is for and became a line item competing with the lifestyle. once you frame it that way the math never works, because the math isnt supposed to work. that's the point we are living in the richest moment in human history and we decided to use the surplus to buy ourselves out of the future. the most prosperous civilization that has ever existed is committing demographic suicide at the altar of personal optimization and comfort, and the official line is that we cant afford it the birthrate is a lagging indicator of a civilization that forgot why it was alive

obviamente, não é necessário se identificar com uma música para ter apreço por ela, mas realmente é uma experiência muito mais intensa escutar o speak now na faixa dos 19 e 20 anos com uma bagagem que você não tinha aos 14 e 15

Why have so many people suddenly developed an unhinged obsession with Israel? Listen to @MeghanEMurphy's full conversation with @Jacob__Siegel now on the podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/0D5Wa1…

@EJunger98 @Judianna Not if you were on the ground for it for years and the mass media and entire gen pop was all idiots ..

@Judianna I've noticed it is much more likely to happen the other way around. People who lived through major events like 9/11 and COVID have absolutely no memory of those events. They actively remember them wrong due to mass media.

An all too frequent occurrence here, tbh.

@sark_08850 @Judianna lol

@Judianna I was in a hotel in Berlin the night the wall came down. I was lectured by a school kid about how this never happened the way the tv shows it.

Bill Clinton: “Palestinians were offered a state on the entire West Bank and east Jerusalem as its capital. Israel accepted, but Palestinians refused. They did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians. All they wanted was to kill Israelis" This must be shared every day.

You cannot go anyhwere in the US anymore without feeling taking advantage of. Every restaurant, every lease agreement, every purchase. Everything is so blatantly predatory. Like they don't even care to be subtle about the fact that they're operating in bad faith. And we're all just submissive to it

I agree .. catholics etc pope was 100% burn witches a women corrupt force over the people and a political money racket. But that’s not the case any more for Christian and Jewish communities do not go by Papal Courts. Islamic counties are living under various king / religious dogmatically backwards laws that allow for child brides and require women be in Berkas. I don’t understand why that is not a concern. The cutting clitoris off we just had to put a Doctor in jail who did the procedure because she knew they would do it anyway and was trying to protect the child from infection. I don’t believe she should be in jail for performing it I think anyone who would do that should not be living in my state or country. That’s not okay to cut off a girls clitoris in the USA. That’s so backwards that it’s not compatible here. Also We are not invading countries and converting.. but Islam is .. look at Nigeria, India it’s terrible.

@sheilanazarian And medieval Jewish law or Christian law or Hindu law is. Dr. Think clearly. What you are saying is sb. Compare Like to like Modern legal systems have developed beyond this. Don’t blame Islam for your bias. All medieval legal systems had harsh penalties.

I studied Islam at Columbia University because I needed to understand what it says in the Quran that forced my family to flee Iran under gunfire after the Islamic revolution. I’ve read the Quran. I know what it says to do to Jews. And no one can deny it to me because I studied it. And here’s the truth: Sharia Law is not compatible with the West.

@RamoFootball Pegula

who deserves to win a maiden slam the most ?

You have some week or days too where you are just on fire for no seemingly good reason and it’s like musical chairs with tennis, he is on one of those to take our Danil 6-0 6-0 .. Danil is worth how much in prize money in just 6-8 years too. He is by far the most consistent players outside the big 3 now 2-3 .. now I think that torch is being passed to Lerner Tien.

@pavyg Matteo Berrettini is ranked low mainly because of injury layoffs—his actual level can be much higher when healthy. But it’s not just an off day from Daniil Medvedev. It’s usually both: Berrettini playing near his peak and Medvedev not at his best. Frank Falvo

🚨 World ranked 90 Matteo Berrettini has just become the first player EVER to move into the last 16 of a Masters event without losing a single game; R64 d Bautista Agut 4-0 R32 d Medvedev 6-0 6-0 He also breaks records of most consecutive games EVER in a masters. 16 games. 🤯

@pavyg En fuego ! My kids saw him at Miami Open last year and wanted to stay for SUPER MARIO… 😂

Every team she played on had winning seasons League Champs and has won tons of titles and championships up to World Champions so cut the BS. I don’t even want to know what her trophy room looks like. HS school State Champs Inter Catholic League (only 130 girls total in her HS too) World Gold USA 16, 17, 18 and 19 and under 4 National Titles AAU 2 Big Ten Championship NCAA Titles 2 Big Ten League Titles 1 WNBA commissioner’s cup, the ONLY CUP ! Pays $ 1/2 yr salary to each player in a day.. has a triple dub vs NY and 9 pts in 38 sec to get em into that Championship. Her goal when she chose to play for the Hawk Eyes for 4 years(without one top 5 player in the state of Iowa) WAS TO MAKE A FINAL FOUR in MARCH MADNESS . Even people close to her said that was absolutely wild and way over the top and a ourlandish goal to make it close to A National Title with this team. Except Coach Bludder. No one on Woman in BBALL NCAA has ever made a Final Four or played in March Madness at that time because the “Final Four or March Madness” designation was not given to Women’s until her Jr year. Her and the Hawkeyes made BACK TO BACK FINALS! With not one player named Big Ten Player of the week besides KM on her team they took out several teams with a host of Nationally ranked now Professional players on them and to a Final in March Madness past the Final Four. Ridiculous.

She cooked an undefeated team by herself 3 years ago and til this day, the coach is still haunted by it😭
