@DeAngelisCorey Its because democrats typically are the ones who best support education. If republicans supported education they would donate to them as well

@diggity1234 @DlVlD7 @60Minutes If people believed having kids would bring them joy, they would do it whether they could afford to or not. But they increasingly do not believe that.

“We've stopped making babies. We've decided that being distracted by a dopamine hit around Candy Crush might be a good way to spend your time. Not if you're a full human," former Sen. Ben Sasse says in an extended interview. cbsn.ws/4cA1Jrp

I didn't say every cost has risen the same. Any areas that have generally been highly regulated by government, or run by government, have increased far more than other cost categories (education, healthcare, housing, etc) Wage increase (under Trump and Clinton) exceeded the overall inflation. Bush and Obama wage increase was basically exactly in line with inflation.

Yes, there are definitely those cases. I don't mean to dismiss entirely that cost is relevant, but that's usually just an excuse for not doing the hard thing - just like working hard to make it financially - just like studying hard to level up your career. These are all hard in the short-term, but produce long-term happiness. Same with kids.

@diggity1234 @Coopster_05 @DlVlD7 @60Minutes There are cases where a person genuinely cannot afford to raise a child let alone eat out & travel, in which case adoption or foster care are necessary. I am pro life btw

Inflation-adjusted wages are up. That means wages are higher than the rise in costs. The luxuries kids have today with smartphones, eating out, etc is better than prior generations. I ate $1 bagels everyday for lunch and my wife lived on top ramen in college and very rarely ate out - only for dates. How many kids are willing to live like that today?

Inflation-adjusted wages are higher now than ever, even for the bottom 10%. Wealth of the bottom 10% is also higher than ever. Inflation-adjusted median wages were up 1.2% last year. The only two presidents that have actually increased inflation-adjusted median wages in the last 30 years is Trump 1st term, Trump in 2025, and Clinton in the late 90s. The economy is not utterly broke, even if we have a debt crisis we need to solve.

@diggity1234 @DlVlD7 @60Minutes And if the economy is utterly broke as well, it becomes much harder, sometimes even literally not practically possible for many, to have childen.

Look, I'm a proponent of childcare assistance, universal healthcare, and all that. But those things don't drive the decision of whether or not to have kids. I'm from Sweden that has top class childcare and universal healthcare, and there's an even lower fertility rate there. The wealthier we become as a society, it becomes relatively harder to have kids, and we're deprioritizing family.

@diggity1234 @DlVlD7 @60Minutes So you're basically denying that many people today don't have kids because they literally cannot afford them.... You basically refuse to admit there's a problem

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

@TDevontaT @60Minutes We are richer than we have ever been. Having babies is reversely correlated with wealth. The poorer people are, the more babies they have and vice versa. Wealth causes laziness and selfishness, both of which make people not want babies.

@60Minutes You sick people have made the world unaffordable and still think people should have babies. They can’t even afford to eat week to week.

@60Minutes Not one person in these replies aren’t having children because of the “cost”. They aren’t having children because they’re selfish and can’t be bothered. That’s the truth. If you want a family, you find ways to be creative to make it happen.

@diggity1234 @Austen People don't vote for long term issues. They vote for short term emotionally charged props. The messaging has to change.

@Aria_Churchill @Austen It's a long-term issue. The retirement debt bill will be coming due and California will have no way to pay it. But maybe having less money is good for California. The more California spends, the more crime and homelessness goes up.

@Austen And yet for the average Californian the earth keeps spinning, the sun keeps shining, rent remains stupid high and their life remains the same. This is a bad talking point, the effects are second order and not immediate. The avg Californian would happily get rid of billionaires

@collinsworth55 This isn't that different from Ziggy Ansah. He showed up at BYU to run track, he tried football, played 2 years for BYU, then gets drafted 5th and becomes a pro bowler. I wish him the best.
