Because American Capitalism always does the most contradictory things imaginable, a lot of houses for sale and for rent are already in “55+ Neighborhoods”, where only the geriatrics can live without getting fined daily by an HOA.
Landlords are banning kids from housing the same way they ban pets.
So the capitalist class is begging us to have more kids while also making it impossible to keep a roof over our heads if we have kids.
“War with China could be stickier than expected without one billion Americans.”
“A tax on childless couples is a brilliant idea, actually.”
“Why aren’t Zoomers having sex in their doomsday bunkers?”
“Did reproductive rights go too far? President Harris thinks so.”
I posted this a couple years ago, as a speculation on how media would talk about plummeting birthrates.
And now half of them are real headlines.
That would be the less popular policy over giving people with kids subsidies, which we already do.
