To rephrase my post in a way that doesn't "offend" the bugmen: I want certain people having kids, to the exclusion of others. Mass deportations and a more just punitive system would aid in this effort.
Well said. My financials line up with yours, except I live in a very HCOL area and my wife has a similar income. My wife and I each have a younger sibling who is extremely troubled despite being a full-fledged adult. Both of our siblings are super dependent on our parents, despite being 24 and 27. Neither of us want to be responsible for a child like that.
Sure, my wife and I could have babies, or we could continue to enjoy life comfortably and have ample time / money for our hobbies and each other. DINK (Dual Income No Kids) seems like the best strategy to retire early and be happy.
We also don't feel particularly great about the current political climate. It doesn't seem like a great time to introduce a small human into the mix.
My parents were also from this HCOL area, btw. Despite only having one income (my mother was a STAH mom), they were able to afford a house lol. That's laughable for us despite working consistently after graduating college, paying off our loans ASAP. We did everything right except be born into wealth or a LCOL area.
People who say "DINK" and "political climate" and "small human" should refrain from having children, I agree. Watching liberals sterilize themselves and willingly remove themselves from the gene pool is amazing.
The western world is in serious decline. Urgent intervention needed.
That's one way of looking at it. On a more global, non-human centric viewpoint, a decline in population, particularly in the countries that produce the most pollution, would be good for the earth and all the other species who inhabit it. Frankly, I'm all for a good population crash. Humans have clearly demonstrated that they can't pull their sh*t together when it comes to working together to solve big problems.
MAGA/Christian Nationalists: White families with 3 or more children: "What a blessing from God" Families of Color with 3 or more children: "They breed like cockroaches."
I never said having kids is for Nazis. In fact, I never mentioned Nazis. You helped prove my point that words do matter.
Lefty Pro-abortion Eugenics movement leader and Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger:
"We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members"
"Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock."
Margaret Sanger was actually associated with White Supremacist groups, including the KKK, and was anything but "lefty."

Then why is she celebrated by lefties today? Hillary Clinton generously accepted the Margaret Sanger award.
I had kids young, sometimes they happen when you aren’t expecting it.
Not that big of a deal, you figure it out. they are fun. Where we live everyone has kids.
Great so the rest of us have to take responsibility for your irresponsible behavior. By subsidizing your family through tax breaks, public schools, healthcare, etc. And at the same time, we are told to be responsible. And the next generation will be exclusively made up of the offspring of the least responsibile people who could not even figure out how birth control works. Idiocracy.

Your dumb@$$ kids can have fun living in Idiocracy.
I am not a Hillary Clinton fan. Why can't you MAGAs get through your thick skulls that just because we oppose Trump, doesn't mean that we fully embrace all progressive and liberal policies? Progressives are not a cult like MAGA who blindly follow their leader.

Can't argue a point without making some dumb movie reference. Reddit is down the hall and to the left.
Aryan was a misappropriation by Nazi German to refer to a superior, non-Jewish, master race. Ironically, Aryan, which means "noble and free," is the root for the name of the country of Iran, which means "Land of the Aryans."
