I turned this video on to my grandmother and now she wants to be a blogger too. Looks like we're in the family business😚
Race Extinction?
Twaddle
You can actually RENT AN OLD MAN in Japan!!
Similar thing is happening in South Korea. Women aren't getting married nor having children. So the birth rate is extremely low.
Sad
Japan has the magic formula. Forget creating more humans for Gods sake and try looking after this already ridiculously overpopulated planet full of people
So is horrible
This is tough. I'm an old person without a single family connection (no kids, no siblings, no partner) so I know it's tough. I ALSO know that our planet is terribly overpopulated and that we are destroying the environment as a result. So, I think we are going to just need to tough it out and get the population down.
A broken society, they let go of their culture and adopted the Western life style.
Bring in the muslims and illegal immigrants they will take care of the population
No, it is generational problem. Even if you have babies now, it will not solve it. They need senior living communities and services to go along with it.
Purpose and fulfilment cures all loneliness
Stop conflating loneliness with being alone
Go back to traditiinalues not this western devils system.
This is the toxic result of the feminism movement. Congrats all the woke people out there.
