I’ve always thought you were gay despite the fact that you’re in a marriage with a woman.
Does that count?
The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

When my parents started in 1958 they could raise 4 kids on one income. When I started in 1985 we could raise two kids on two salaries.
In 2025 my kids can barely raise one kid on two salaries.
And then politicians want young people to have more kids.
Ain't gonna happen.@Wim said in Some good news (not):

Yes costs have gone up, but our level of consumption has also gone way up, it seems. Gone are the days of one car, one phone, one TV, one newspaper, one vacation.

I've always pictured him as a straight guy with a dress or two in the closet. (He's going to get pissed!

It's only gay if you actually enjoy it.
So, apparently I've had a bunch of gay girlfriends.

I guess AI and robotics present some vaguely realistic hope of getting out of it.

It our only hope. Big or small.

It's silly to think that artificial abortions cause population decline. If you want to blame the domestic population's low reproductive rate, blame family planning in general and the domestic population's unwillingness to raise more children. Getting rid of artificial abortions won't move the needle because a parent getting a child earlier than planned will simply change family planning tactics to not have the child that would have come later. It's a zero sum game in that regard.
Immigration is net population addition for the most part as very few domestic persons would change their family planning tactics in response to immigration.

So abortion is primarily after the fact birth control. Thank’s for verifying what is pro-lifers already knew that thd pochoicers have denied or obfuscated.
