I actually don't think most people should have kids. It's work. Half the shit I read here I pray the user doesn't have kids. Not a specific knock on anyone, just saying.

Rasing kids is so hard because we've stopped training, within families, how to care and nurture for the most vulnerable. Largely this is the fault of 3rd and 4th wave feminism combined with the economic reality that is the destruction of the 20th century middle-class by globohomo and government design.

Families that have only one child lack the training dynamic that 6- or 8-children families had; namely, the oldest girl tends the younger children while the mother nurses the youngest. Older boys help/mock the younger boys, with occasional guidance from the father when they fuck up or ask questions.

Children today are profoundly lacking both the skills and the sense of purpose that helping a family gives a child.

Bring it back - the family is the crucial source of early learning for every child.

They are going to have to innovate.

I see this in states like Arizona and Florida that have licensed group homes for seniors.

Its a licensed private home with about 3 senior citizens each in their own bedroom and the 4th bedroom is where the 24/7 staff live.

They have an enclosed back yard with a garden and other amenities to keep the seniors active. They employ technology like internet security cameras, door alarms, etc.

California had this for decades. My great grandmother was in one in the early 90s.

In Arizona they are mostly unlicensed and run by Filipinos. The care takers are mostly illegal Filipinos. The legal one would buy a few houses with the 3% down, bring in the illegals, house and care for the elderly for cheap (well waaaaaaaaaay below the licensed places).

There at least should be non profits paid by the state to check on these homes. At least have internet cameras in common areas like the living room and fenced in back yard to check on the residents of these senior homes.

Same for my great-grandmother's. Most retirement homes are staffed by Filipinos anyway.

There are very few illegal Filipinos in America. It's difficult for them to get even tourist visas to come over and overstay. This despite that they used to be a US Territory.

It's all migration.

Stop the migration and the worker's share of wealth increases, while homeloaner and employer wealth share decreases.

Which eventually is fuel for a future baby boom a generation or two down the line, as it's not fiscally responsible to buy a $350k home on $60k/year.

I think the Fed is trying to let the air slowly out of the housing bubble, so that the average or median house value only has gone up no more than 4% a year over the last 10 to 15 years.

This allows household income to catch up with housing prices.

But I think a return to the norm or average is for housing to income ratio is around 2.75 to 3.75.

If they bond market lets them, should be interesting if pulled off.

I get a hoot of Boomers that spent their adult life warning not to spend over 1/3 of income on housing and never more than 3x annual income are like "C'mon kids, I want $750k for this modest one-car garage Al Bundy one hour drive from Chicago. You only make $110k combined? Don't Think, SPEND!"

Probably one of the worst days of my life the last time I saw my Grandmother. It was in AZ in one of these houses. I got to Phoenix and she was in hospice. She saw my kids for the first time and her will to live (I think) jumped.

She got booted and my uncle put her in one of those houses with Filipinos. She was so upset. I'm talking please don't leave and crying. Never saw my grandma that way. I was the last one to see her. I don't know what my rich ass uncle was doing, but I'll never forgive him for that. This is all while my dad is dying. I've stopped talking to that side of the family even though I could live it up in Scottsdale in a $17M house, but fuck that. He didn't even care about his own mom.

Lastly and most importantly, the point of national power is to stop hostile foreigners from exerting power over you. The traditional way to lose power to foreigners is military force, but if they’re just given visas, military strength is irrelevant. From the rhetoric of immigrant intellectuals in the US to the constant terror attacks in Europe to the horrific anti-white Pakistani rape-gangs of Britain17, it’s clear that much of actually-existing immigration is no different from an invasion where we have chosen to surrender without a fight.

Immigration Accounted for All U.S. Population Growth in 2023 for the First Time Since 1850

Immigration accounted for the entirety of the U.S. population growth between 2022 and 2023, according to the Migration Policy Institute (MPI).

Birth rates among American citizens dropped 2% from 2022 to 2023, but the number of immigrants climbed by 1.6 million, reaching a record high of 47.8 million. That's a population increase of 3.6%, the most since 2010. "The fertility rate fell to 54.5 births per 1,000 females of ages 15-44 in 2023, down from 56 in 2022," reports NBC News.

The percentage of foreign-born Americans stands at 14.3% which is slightly less than the record of 14.8% in 1890.

Nearly 75% of U.S. immigrants are here legally, and almost half are naturalized citizens.

So, more than 25% of 47.8 million people are criminal aliens?

That would mean 12 million criminal aliens in the US right now. How do we know it's not higher? They are "undocumented" after all, as the euphemism for criminal alien goes.

I can believe it's easily twice that high, 24 million criminal aliens.

This not remotely accurate where I live. Mind you I'm 41 about to be 42. I don't know a single person still living with mom or dad that doesn't have criminal or mental issues.

Almost all are married or in a long term relationship. Most have children. Almost all have homes they own. I actually cannot think of one renter I know.

Inner city and ghetto areas skew these stats soooooo much. These numbers are not the world I live in being close to that demographic.

Move then if you don't like your bubble or believe other crap. Inner cities trash metrics and stats. That's not the real world in most of America. Sorry to break it to you.

You think these are unpaid surveys? Who do you think responds? Successful young people give no shits about stuff like this. It's biased polling and data gathering.

Whatever, I don't sit here and bitch and whine like some. I'll go on a cruise and have fun. My friends aren't losers and whining all the time. You live on a different planet.

Good points. Another problem, working middle class couples foot the bill for everyone else. It becomes cost prohibitive to raise children, one parent works just to pay daycare. And whereas in the seventies one income could support a household, now two to four incomes are needed just to pay the rent/mortgage. The reproductive crisis is largely an economic problem.

Yesterday saw a sticker F*k (full form) Putin on an expensive car. I think, he must go to London and stay.

More of an expectations problem. Families have dual incomes to support a lifestyle. In the 60s/early 70s you referred to, home life for a family was:
one car
one phone
small house
one TV
one bathroom

Now think of all the single mothers today who live like that on one income. Clothing is cheap today, so no sewing like the wife above had to do.

I think she did this country a favor. None of her diseased spawn will ever endanger our communities or our political system.

She was probably post-wall anyway, so it's not like she sacrificed anything other than an essentially barren womb.

Correct. However, it's the iron costs of living that are up - health, housing, cars, etc. while the costs of luxury items are down.

We need to reverse the post-Cold War era and go back to cheap, modest housing and good, non-seed oil frankenfood, but expensive extras.

One GREAT thing is to restore Set-floor rates for flights like it was in the 80s and get the shitraff off the Airlines which are already Greyhound. A few hundred extra bucks in plane tickets would work wonders not just for quality of air travel, but also reduce costs of airports and reduce STDs and crime.

No you don't live in planet reality. You likely live in a shit hole area hence all the whiney posts. I'm sorry but Californians are the bitchiest people I've ever read stuff from for how great the state is supposedly.

I live in a shitty state dude. I'm just sick of the Californians on this forum thinking the rest of the country is like their state. It's not. Brand new homes for $300k down the block here.

Unless you're an alcoholic or druggie and can work a job, you'll do much better in other states. If you can't get a loan for $300k, you're one of the above. Or you live in an overpriced area, don't leave it, and don't realize that there are better places.

Here's what it's like in the Midwest. Youtube I know. It's reality though. That's not happing in CA or FL or NY where no one gives a shit about community. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/N027R2eaeMM

And no, calling you out on your hypocrisy on this is not me 'the rest of the country is like my state'. It's just you projecting that onto me.
