> This article (and most quoting "low birth rate") are incredibly out of touch. How can you be shocked that in a world where a shooting might not make the news, our politicians don't hide their corruption, and you know, the climate crisis that we've seen coming and still choose to do nothing.

And yet, the world has never been safer in a long time and the statistics show it.

The ever rising cost of living and challenges to careers for caregivers are a real concern though.
