    I can't help but be amazed at academics who observe the depopulation phenomenon and think it's a Big Mystery.  "Why don't they have kids?"


    According to them, we're richer and healthier than ever.  ???   How do they measure that?  By what standard?  Why don't women want babies anymore?

    They can't seem to grasp the inherent incompatibility between women working so they have enough money to be "richer" than ever and churning out kids at the same time.  How come they're not SuperMoms who can do it all, juggle a high paying professional career while waddling around in a maternity dress?

    They also ignore the ever increasing number of WOKE LGBTQ trannies, fags, queers and lezzies who don't even do sex the way it works to make new little meat packages.  Watching Netflix teen movies, I get the impression at least 20% of typical HS seniors are operating DC these days.  No worries about Teen Pregnancy at least.

    Anyhow, at least this analyst doesn't see it as an apocalyptic crisis like Elon Musk and the rest of the Natalist crowd.  Less people is a GOOD THING.  The only bad part is there's too many Old People.
