    Key point here: Millennials still make an effort to hang out, outside of the internet. Hoo boy that birth rate is really going to plummet. Lets see how well the capitalist’s infinite growth system works when the next 3 generations are smaller then each other. How does retirement work for the proles?

      If you think capitalism is bad wait until you see what’s coming next: neofeudalism

      Extremely wealthy few who control everything. No more payment, you’ll simply be a serf. No more owning, you won’t own anything, all in your life will be leased.

      In that world, you have kids because your told to, or else. Individual freedom? What are you a lord? A feudal master?

        I doubt anyone will have to be told to have kids. Putting people in misery will leave them grasping at anything to have a moment’s respite of pleasure. Right now they can do that with hobbies and ‘toys.’ In the future? Only the embrace of your fellow miserable hopefully-only-half-kin will be an option, and kids will start popping out.

    • That’s ok. At this point trump’ll tank it all first, saving us the reich wing tax incentives to bang out kids and talibangelicals preventing women from obtaining jobs or higher education so they can stay barefoot and pregnant kn the kitchen.
