I hate the term “fertility rate.” Lazy, imprecise, malicious. It doesn’t measure fertility rate, it measures birth rate. “Fertility rate” gaslights society into believing we are to blame, not the grossly incompetent & overreaching government that created this economic climate and perpetuated cultural shifts. “Fertility rate” says “Welp, must be an inevitable trend of our modern, smartphone radiation-based and sugar-craved society! 🤷 The government totally isn’t lining their pockets with half your income and inflating away the other half, making it impossible to buy a home! Get in the gym and fix that cardiovascular health!”
