      I can attest. I run a ministry for infants in California. I couldn’t keep supplies on hand years ago. Now I have bins of stuff that no one is taking.

      Interesting that even Utah has fallen into the “insufficient” category.

      Housing affordability went down, people can’t buy family houses anymore, so they don’t have kids.

    4. STOP MAKING THESE IN GIF FORM ITS AWFUL

      So on this gif you can actually click on and use the scroller, so i guess thats an improvement

      Given a choice, I choose no. It isn’t just affordability – the Epstein Class is in charge and the place is a mess. My kids wouldn’t stand a chance… at anything. I’m doing „them“ a favor by remaining childless.

      Recession. Covid. Inflation made it so people can’t afford kids. Trump and climate change make it so people don’t want kids.

    7. this is one of the wackiest „most popular“ topics here.

      people are really in a strange fad-like panic over this

    8. One factor I read about a while ago is that America effectively got rid of teenage pregnancy. In the 1990’s birth from people under 20 accounted for something like 15-20% of all births in the USA and now they account for something like 3-5%, Combined that with every demo having less kids on average and you get a pretty drastic reduction.

      My youngest daughter is one of 2 kids in her kindergarten that has 2 or more siblings. Everyone else is an only child or has 1 sibling.

      I hope we can all understand how badly the 2008 recession hit Michigan. It was so dire we had to stop fucking in 2007.

    11. Yikes. None of us under 40 are retiring lol. Maybe if we can get enough robots.

    12. What’s the orange and then red spot near the east coast I can’t tell if it’s Virginia or Maryland since I can’t zoom in

      there is a direct opposite correspondence in # of children born and healthcare

    14. Yep, I’m probably going to stop at 1. I’d have one more, but housing is too fucking expensive. I’m pretty well paid, but I’m not rich.

    15. My husband and I tried for a baby for years. Now I’m 37 and I kind of see it as a blessing. It still makes me a little sad but eh I get all my time and money to myself

    16. Now let’s see a comparison of cost of living vs. income with these same maps.

      Its wild how much lower the rates are in the northeast areas compared to some of the western states even back in 2008

    18. 2008 destroyed a generation of wealth.

      2019 did the same thing.

      People born in the 80s and 90’s are going to have a lot harder time trying to help their children

      turns out when you make the country a playground for billionaires and a jail cell for middle class and poor people, there arent enough people wanting to have kids.

      Fertility implies the ability to have children, not the choice not to have them
