I've heard variations of this and it is, tbh, terrible and not likely to be effective. A lot of his argument can be boiled down to "stop expecting things not to suck, stop expecting things to be good for your kids, just accept misery." I heard this for years and my response was "fuck that, I'm not interested in being unhappy. I'd rather not have kids." At some point I had enough resources that I was confident that I could avoid this. Now that I have a kid, I realize that this was always bs. They really can be awesome and smart and sweet. No, your dog won't hate them - in fact, they'll probably love each other intensely. If you show that kids are actually cool and fun people will actually want to have them.

We don't see the impacts yet, but we're already behind the curve. More schools will close and more cities and neighborhoods will be boarded up. I wonder what it does for public sentiment. Rootless non-kid havers don't seem as future oriented. And I always say, it's not JUST a smaller population, it's an old as fuck population.
They say the template is Japan. Where the cities stay vibrant but the hinterlands hollow out. The only problem with that in the USA is that our hinterlands will be filled with all kinds of marginalized people. Drugged out addicts on relief, criminals, etc. It will be downright dystopian to drive across the country.

Yeah we have a few other structural issues that make Japan a bad comparison. Also, S Korea is like 0.7 replacement. That's a death spiral. I think the US is 1.7.

Yes and Russia is fuct as well. That's why we have the war in Ukraine and the big 2027 Chinese Taiwan timeline. They both know the clock is ticking. It's also part of the AI race. The bet is robots and AI soften the population decline and we make up for the loss with gains in productivity. In a roundabout way that's also why we attacked Iran.

If you want people to have more kids then promote WFH and let people live in places that aren't like Seattle/SF/NYC/etc. These places heavily promote having 0 kids and 1 tops.
