Young folks have been priced out of housing & healthcare, you can be fired from your job on a whim, food is astronomically expensive, the political climate is tense, your basic human rights could be rescinded at any time, the future of the planet is being murdered by shitty capitalists with 0 regard for human life....

I mean, who wouldn't want to bring a child into this world right now?

Eat shit.

Once again Gen-X is ignored. It's Gen-X hitting grandparenting age.

My two kids probably won't be parents, and I'm ok with that. I want them to be happy more than I want to enjoy grandkids. Whatever they choose, I'll be happy with.

I felt pressure from Boomer parents to have kids, and I didn't want to do the same to my kids. That's a hard nope.

Told my mom if she wants grandkids she better stop voting for conservatives. Didn't work, and a deal's a deal.

Maybe next time leave the ladder behind instead of taking it with you.

Maybe they shouldn't horde and partition their wealth from their children and do everything possible to ensure every penny is spent before death.

Make college and homes unobtainable.. You get what you get and you don't get upset.

"Oh no it's the consequences of my own actions!"

I want the lions share of the profits of our economy! I want to pull the ladder up behind me! Why aren't these lazy millennials having kids for me!?

You're entitled millennials!

/Vomit

Shouldn't 'ave fucked up the economy and environment, simple as

Yeah cuz they're hoarding the houses.

How dare someone elses wants effect me!!

Who writes this trash...

Imagine a society ran for benefit of gereatrics and nepo babies at the expense of young working people

Now open your eyes 🤡

Make the world a place that will be liveable in 100 years and pay people enough to exist:

A) without children, and B) with children

and boom, problem solved. Statistically, anyway.

Guess you shouldn't have been entitled little shits and fucked up the world, then.

Elder millennial here. I had kids, my brother didn’t, and my kids, though young enough to change their minds, are adamant they won’t have kids.

I think the more interesting stat likely unfolding is the marked decrease of great grandparents in a generation.

To be clear this is not a “threat to society” or whatever, people can decide if they want kids or not. Just a shower thought.

Aww. Maybe if they didn’t spend their days treating their kids like their bank accounts and actually voted to help them afford things like housing and health care they’d have grandkids.

Instead they supported ghouls like trump and clinton instead of the guy who wanted to give everybody health care!

Way to focus, Wall Street Journal. We can always count on you for in-depth journalism

"You should have kids so you'll have someone who will take care of you when you're older."

Bruh, I'm not subjecting a person to this godforsaken world so I can guilt trip them into babysitting me when I'm old and senile.

even if I had kids my dad would be excluded from grandparenting due to the trump worship. don't need that kind of influence on the adult family members let alone kids.

Boohoo

Wouldn't this be prime age for boomers to be great grandparents? Unless they mean paying for their grandkids college...

Boomers should have thought of the shareholders.

That is, the kids they fucked over with their bullshit ideas and absolute misunderstanding of the world they created.

I'd love to be able to speak with my parents again, but (and I never thought I would ever say this, if you had asked me 10 years ago) I need to see some heads popping out of asses.

For some reason I'm not surprised about Facebook being explicitly boomer-centric

@scrubbles

Some people seem to assume it's their right to become grandparents...
