I don't fault you. You do you. Just stop blaming the economy.
People have been willingly having children through times tougher than anything you have or ever will experience.
You just don't want kids. And that's fine.
Just stop scapegoating the economy.
It costs 19,000 on average without insurance just to birth a child. I currently have to have 3 roommates just to make rent. How about you go fuck yourself?
Pretty sure a human can birth a child for free.
Oh, you mean in a fancy hospital with modern conveniences developed by scientists to make the process as comfortable and hassle-free as possible?
Again, humans have been procreating, WILLINGLY, in conditions worse than anything you have or will ever experience because they WANT a child. They WANT to procreate.
Not wanting that is fine. Just stop blaming others.
Yeah you're not a serious person. Goodbye.
Not serious?
I'm sorry that you have been made to believe that an expensive 3 day hospital visit is the one and only way that a human can give birth, but the fact is: that's just the most comfortable and convenient way of giving birth. That's why it's so expensive.
I would label the person who believes there is no way that a human can give birth to another human without recent medical advancements as "not serious".
How has this species survived for so long?
