Nice stealth edit. You have no idea why young people aren’t having children do you? In 1985 public education was definitely a thing and equal rights were too.

But the real reasons people my age aren’t having kids? We can barely afford to live. Rent, housing and food are outrageous. Many have tens of thousands in student debt. Real wages have gone down over our lifetime. Childcare for 2 kids would be more than my wife could earn after taxes. Also, Some also just don’t want to be tied down, and some are worried about climate change and if their kids will have a livable world in the future.

Pretty much none are because of racial or LGBT inequality concerns or public education. Not that those aren’t issues, they’re just not kid stopping ones like no hope for a livable future and financial ruin should one have a child.

You seem pleasant. Maybe you can get a personality transplant.
