The world is not even close to 1% "overpopulated".

The 1% indulge? The greatest thing a person can do is raise a child and build a legacy. No class warfare or nonsense about climate change can change that.

If you want a smaller world, fine. Then give up your 401k, retirement funds, and government care in old age. Because my kids are the ones paying for 100% of that. Think of someone other than yourself.

nice opinion, but it seems you are increasingly in the minority.

if the older generations can't find it in their hearts to take the long term view on social security funding, housing, climate change... why should we feel obligated to breed so there is a nice conveyor belt of wage slaves for them the pull the ladder on?

you sound very entitled.

and i think about myself because in the US, if i don't, no one else will.

Well, government care doesn't exist in India government pension doesn't exist.

Govt schools are under fudned so if you're serious about education and have money your kids go to private schools.

Even healthcare is private and costly as the free govt hospitals are chroniclly underfunded.

Public transport doesn't exist except for a few handful of cities

So I'm sorry, your points don't apply to India.

It's good that India's population is going to reduce
