    Amazing how the people in positions to have kids are screaming at the top of their lungs what would help the situation and the geritocracy just ignores them and has the fucking nerve to whine about low birth rates.

    Wipe your own asses boomers, we’re done propping up this dead society

        Yeah honestly, this wolrd has done nothing but tell me it hates me and wants me to die. And I’m doing much better than most people.

        This isn’t a world I would feel ok subjecting a child to.
