or you encourage your population to have more kids.

Hard to do. Off the top of my head

People are now more selfish. Want me free time to themselves kids take away from that

In the last woman were not career focused. Now they are

In the last divorces were less, this drives woman to have to be independent and more career focused

Men and women are both working, 2 incomes are typically needed to get by today, when the baby comes one will have to give up their job, lack of childcare support and nurseries expensive.

People getting married later and that inherently reduces the time to have baby. Also the older you get the harder it is too get preggos.

Feel like people are also working longer hours no compared to the past

Main one for me is finances preventing people especially middle class who have two jobs.

Yep, all of these factors

Which means you would have to heavily incentivise people to have more children with things like tax breaks or Govt issued savings funds etc

I think this is what China have done, after reversing their one child policy which has led to a aging population, shrinking workforce and pressure on pensions and healthcare etc

Not really. China isn't producing enough babies at all. They don't have decent maternity and the recent baby making giveout isnt that high.

Tax breaks don't really offer enough of an incentive.

Even more reason we'll probably need immigration then, as this is an issue that is affecting lots of developed nations

Don't tell @Sucky

I agree with everything you say Bobby. I need to mull this over.
 
Apparently the rapture was supposed to be yesterday, are we missing anyone? (I'd be surprised if we were tbh, even if it happened).

^^^^ this. Plus I think that most of the younger generation know that owning a home, providing for old age is a huge financial burden, so they live for today and today doesn’t include children

Another shooting in the US. This time aimed at an ICE facility

Two dead

Do people actually engrave shell casings or is this a rouse for something ? I don't know.

Anyway, guns won't be the problem again....... :bandit:
 
First family arrives in the UK which includes a small child through the new legal route. I think we had sent 4 migrants back to France prior to this arrival.

Lol

Yeah it could be copy cat stuff, but something doesn't add up for me.

After the Charlie Kirk shooting, the FBI were saying they found multiple shell casings with engravings on them, but there was only one shot fired.

The pic above is unspent rounds, but could that not have just been written on after the bullets were found ? I dunno man.

I just feel like it's all being used to justify an end to me.

Don't know mate, all I know is that it was another sniper, seems an odd way to go about a killing if you are going to top yourself anyway. I suppose if they had an intended target a sniper position gives more accuracy. Not that I know anything about this ****, I remember Clint Eastwood getting upset one time when someone laughed at his horse, fragile lot these Americans.
