Are you saying this is the worst economy or political climate the world has ever seen? Both economies and political climates change. It is strange to make a permanent decision based on a temporary circumstance.

Nevertheless, you have made a decision not to have kids and that decision is worthy of respect even if it rests on shaky logical foundations. But you should similarly respect people’s choice to travel with their children and appreciate that as someone who has opted out of that part of the human experience, you have no insight into it and shouldn’t be making statements about disincentivizing parents from traveling with their children. Ultimately, children are just small people. If you can’t deal with interacting with that subset of the population, I suggest you fly private. Or… don’t fly.

Unless you’re planning to be completely independent up until the moment you die, today’s children will be caring for you in your old age.

You do realize today’s kids are going to be feeding you, delivering your groceries, keeping your electrical and water running, farming your food and so on when you are old. Probably far before you are old. Unless you live alone on a farm homesteading, the anti-natalism is ridiculous.

Man how eager were you to drop that one

lol, there it is.
