Yeah I agree with you. Not a whole lot of planning involved. The planning that does occur is based more on the mother's career than the climate.The NYC birth rates explode 9 months after blackouts !

Colleges campus around the USA were either shut down or barricaded in protest of the war in Viet Nam !More bullshit right now than I can remember during my lifetime following American politics.
Fear mongering, slander, hyper-hyperbole, etc. Stay classy, Illini fans.
No matter who wins, life on earth will continue.
The political class is living in the past. An October surprise won’t determine the outcome. There are very few undecided voters and early voting has began. Enthusiasm (positive and negative) will tip the scales in the battleground states.
This is false. In the 1970s and 1980s, there was ideological diversity in both parties (liberal Republicans and Conservative Democrats). The 2 parties were much more similar then they are today. That is why there much less rancor back then.It’s just that the BS is exposed now
Birth rates today are correlated with a country's development. Developed nations have lower birth rates and less developed countries have higher birth rates.It has a lot more to do with the climate change hoax than it does covid. Articles can easily be found that young couples are afraid to have children out of fear the global catastrophies predicted come true. Fear has been fed to them from when they were young.

It's really remarkable. I keep asking myself if I was just incredibly naive back in the 80s and 90s. It's surreal.
US birth rate declineAbout 2/3 of young adults in Australia have “climate anxiety”
Social media is not the major reason.Didn’t have social media back then.
And only one 24 hour news network.Didn’t have social media back then.
What polls are those? I see something different.2/3 of Americans support mass deportations. Since 2015 the percentage of non-white voters who are in favor of mass deportations has gone up 24 points. What was 33% in 2015 is now 57%. 57% of non-whites want illegals deported.
Oh, hey. BTW. Latest polling data has Trump +2 nationally over Harris. Best numbers he has had since Biden dropped out.
Jeff said textiles wouldn’t come back. Welp. Here’s a jeans manufacturer doing just that in the US.
Social media is not the major reason.
The polarization in today’s Congress has roots that go back decades
On average, Democrats and Republicans are farther apart ideologically today than at any time in the past 50 years.www.pewresearch.org
The parties were more similar in the 1970s than today. In particular, Republicans have moved much more to the right.
Per Pew Research, Republicans have moved more to the right in the last 20 years than Democrats to the left.Going back 50 years is irrelevant. That was the era of the eastern establishment that dominated American politics. It’s long gone.
The ideological shifts impacting today’s politics and political discourse began in earnest in the post Clinton era. Democrats have shifted further to the left over that period of time than Republicans have to the right. Reagan Democrats are now Republicans. Neo conservatives are now Democrats.
What’s probably more significant than ideological shifts is the new coalitions of voters who have emerged. Which is why politicians tend to take a divide and conquer approach, and why people can’t talk to each other like civilized human beings.
Social media may not be THE reason people hate each other and every aspect of American life is politicized, but it’s a major reason.
Other reasons: The catastrophic failure of our public education system; urbanization; competing interests (i.e. environmentalism vs energy industry jobs); competition and corruption in the mass media; political incentives that reward polarization; lack of social and economic mobility in the U.S. over the last 4 decades.
Biggest reason of all…stupid people.
Per Pew Research, Republicans have moved more to the right in the last 20 years than Democrats to the left.
