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

Thank you @DuncanAdley for recommending (insisting) that I watch Project Hail Mary. I see why you became and apostle, and I too will encourage people to watch the movie. It was great.

@OliverWDahl I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took a mortgage to the knee.

@HalsallDoug And especially nowadays, increasingly the younger generation needs a launch to start off.

Wisdom comes with age - usually. Some see success as the number of persons that envy us. Why would i buy a US$500K car? Interest on safe investment 40K Depreciation/insurance/mtnce 80K. When there are children & grandchildren to educate & give a start in life.

@BrayForJade Aren't the remote work crowd what caused the COVID housing inflation in the first place?

And when digital nomads finish up that inventory, which tier of housing you think they will go after next?

So when they take the apartments that locals can’t afford, and solve the issue of them sitting empty and unsold, what motive would developers have to build anything affordable for locals?

🇨🇺🇯🇲Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba Cuba regrets the decision of the government of Jamaica to cease medical cooperation, yielding to pressure from the U.S. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba reports that, on March 4, the Foreign Ministry of Jamaica communicated to our Embassy in that country the unilateral decision of its government to terminate the health cooperation agreement that has linked both nations for decades. With this action, the government of Jamaica yields to the pressures of the government of the United States, which is not concerned about the health needs of the Caribbean brothers. Cuba deeply regrets that in this way a history of fruitful and sustained collaboration is disregarded, one that has brought countless benefits to the Jamaican people, who are now deprived of receiving the basic and specialized health services that Cuban collaborators provided. In response to the step taken by the government of Jamaica, the government of Cuba has made the sovereign decision to proceed with the return of the Cuban Medical Brigade. These health professionals leave behind an indelible mark and return to Cuba with the satisfaction of a duty fulfilled and the permanent willingness to assist wherever their spirit of solidarity is required. Cuba’s work in Jamaica is an eloquent example of genuine cooperation. In the last 30 years alone, more than 4,700 Cuban collaborators have provided medical assistance on the Caribbean island. Currently, the Brigade was composed of 277 professionals whose work has had a tangible and profound impact on strengthening the Jamaican health system. The historic results of this collaboration speak for themselves: · More than 8,176,000 patients treated. · 74,302 surgical procedures performed. · 7,170 births attended. · More than 90,000 lives saved. Likewise, through the Operation Miracle program, present in Jamaica since 2010, the sight of nearly 25,000 Jamaicans has been restored or improved. Cuban cooperation has also been decisive in projects for the control and prevention of diseases such as malaria and in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The most recent example of this dedication was seen after the passage of Hurricane Melissa, which severely affected the island. In those difficult circumstances, the Cuban Medical Brigade remained firmly at their posts, many of its members working for more than 72 consecutive hours and actively joining the tasks of recovering hospitals and communities. Faithful to the historic relations of brotherhood and solidarity that unite us with Jamaica, Cuba reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the Jamaican people, who will always be able to count on the selfless cooperation of Cuba. Havana, March 6, 2026.

For me, the crazy thing about the low birth rate issue is that it's not that people are willing or want to but are unable to (according to SM). It's that people are actively OPPOSED to the idea i.e. they DO NOT WANT children.

"It was selfish." Author Lionel Shriver reflects on her decision not to have children.

@KymJohnson More please 🙏🏿

Nitric oxide supplementation. I’ve been doing this for years. My patients are off anti-hypertensives.

It’s much more than finances altho that’s a big part of it. Many counties have tried giving various financial incentives & birth rates haven’t budged or continue to fall. JA is unlikely to buck that trend. There’s a wider cultural/sociological shift in attitudes to child rearing

@5Solae Local CEO did same in upscale neighborhood I believe. Baller move and totally understandable

Bought the Neighbours’ house because they complained about the noise 😂

Tucker Carlson drops marriage gold in under a minute: Your fiancée/wife doesn't actually want you to make every decision—she wants you to engage and act like you have an opinion. The trap: - "Whatever you want, baby" → She hears: "He doesn't care." - "Pink or orange napkins?" → Say "Orange, obviously" (even if you prefer pink). - "12 or 15 people in photos?" → "12, that's right." - "Where to dinner?" → "Italian place." → She says Chinese → "Italian's disgusting, we're going Chinese." Boom—she relaxes, feels secure ("He's got this"), drama vanishes. You're not surrendering; you're mirroring her choice back with confidence so she feels heard and led. Tucker's line: "That's basically marriage in a sentence." Short clip, massive wisdom. Every guy about to tie the knot needs this.

Let's fucking GOOOOOOO!!!🙌🏿🙌🏿

Idiocracy (2006) gets funnier every year. Fox had no idea how to market it and barely released the film, which accidentally made its satire hit even harder. A comedy that aged into prophecy.
