Currently, the US spends $5k per child and $29k per septuagenarian annually. Also, the average voting age in primaries is 72. We are living in a gerontocracy, because old people take children for granted, so much so that they’re enthusiastic about their government rounding up immigrant children, toddlers, and trafficking them out of the country.
My point is that if we had fewer children for a few generations, maybe it would adjust people’s selfish and animalistic priorities. Fast fashion, meat eating, celebrity worship. That’s what the most prosperous people in the world are all about. I want fewer of them on this planet because we are using 20 times the resources available and most people are poor anyway — until such a time as we establish a path to sustainability.
Or do you enjoy reading about dolphins boiling alive in rivers during record heatwaves? What even is the point of having more than a billion people on this rock if we can’t be bothered to feed them? Like what is your game plan here?
