Dual income, no kids? Hey, that's me. Thank goodness. Conservatives are the only ones having kids and will reshape society. They're going to make it wholesome again. I recently rewatched some of my childhood movies, and they are way better than I remembered. I'm talking "the Goonies", "Bethoven", "Honey I shrunk the Kids", "Gremlins", "Addams Family", et cetera. They're not having enough though.

Fetzer Zinfandel ♀︎ , blizzmanb , @heretic , @heretic , marsatax , merh , Is it just me, or is the DINK being made to look cool now? If TPTB were trying to populate the world rather than depopulate it, I'm certain it would be the opposite. That is what I was hoping some of you at least would take from this thread. Yes, it's a trendy thing and can be beneficial if played right, but sadly the right never plays anything right.

The only difference I can see is that kids are not an option.

^^ Finally, seven hours later, one of them has arrived. This one is thinking ahead, because the next stage is: Okay, so the world is depopulating, but why is that so bad?

^^ Finally, seven hours later, one of those who provide facts has arrived. Fixed. This one is thinking ahead, because the next stage is: Okay, so the world is depopulating, but why is that so bad? You tell me. You are the one propagating the fairytale that the world is depopulating as if it were a bad thing.

You tell me. You are the one propagating the fairytale that the world is depopulating as if it were a bad thing. 1) It's not a fairy tale, and 2) I see it as neither a good thing nor a bad thing, like earthquakes, hurricanes, and the like. They are simply things which must be. Hope that helps.

They are simply things which must be. Hope that helps. Depopulation is a fairy tale. I provided evidence for the growth of human population. Do you have evidence for the opposite? Rhetorical question. You don't. There is only one evidence we need, and that's the world population number of humans throughout the ages.

Very good in the long term, but problematic in the short term, in particular for retirement/pension funding.

Natural disasters already have that handled.

Natural disasters already have that handled. They haven't caused depopulation. Even after the Black Death in 1347 or the flu pandemic in 1918, population did not decrease in the long term.
