  1. We’d rather also not keeping feeding your Epstein pedo pipeline, thank you very much. The pedo clamoring for more children? Ick.

  3. He wants a white baby boom to replace the immigrant population

  6. You want a baby boom, then you’ve got to make having babies seem like a positive. When people can’t get ahead for themselves, see our social fabric fraying, and are given no reason to believe things will improve other than “I say they will improve,” while having *zero* results to back that statement up, bringing a child into the world is simply unfeasible.

    Improve life for the people who are here *now*, and maybe they’ll be able to think about having babies.

    (This comment brought to you by somebody with three kids, who would not dream of starting a family right now if I was a young adult).

  8. Kids are luxury items these days. The biggest label of wealth now, is affording childcare AND groceries.

  10. maybe if the cost of childcare wasn’t more than some mortgages each month. These assholes are like please have more babies while we do nothing to make raising them easier.

  11. GDP/debt ratio will hit 200% very soon actually. Nice knowing ya.

  12. How can you have a baby when they are disappearing all the blue hats 🧢

  13. Wonder if Trump will pass an EO forcing families to have a minimum of 3 children

  14. Hearing Trump say this is sure to make the panties drop.

  17. Cut taxes for parents rather than than the rich.

  18. *This tends to get downvoted because it rubs the rich-patriarchy the wrong way but nonetheless*

    September 2025: There seems to be A LOT of pedophiles in charge of everything, see the USA for example. See the epstein files for example. A LOT of pedophiles. A LOT of corruption. So until those issues are addressed and resolved, how about don’t have kids, because it’s the only power we have in this corrupt-pedophile world.

    6th mass extinction

    Richest guy is a n a z i

    His BFF is a pedo

    3000+ billionaires today

    **Don’t have kids; it’s the only power we have in this corrupt-pedophile world**

  20. He and Elon Musk should team up again to repopulate the earth.

  22. I unknowingly resisted when I got my vasectomy 🙌

  24. Uh oh. Looks like we’ll have to suspend ICE, allow immigrations again

  26. Maybe if it didn’t cost 10 fucking grand to have a baby

  27. If you want to kill or sterilize or lockup 100+ million people that you’ve deemed to be enemies, you’re not going to have a baby boom for starters. 🤡🤡🤡🤡

    this is why these people don’t scare me they’re just too dumb. they lie and they tell boogeyman stories.

  29. Main Street must thrive long enough for potential parents to start to believe again they won’t be rug-pulled by future economic precarity as a prerequisite for a baby boom. The root cause of that precarity differs depending upon one’s experience and politics, but suffice to say this has been building up for so long that there is a litany of factors to choose from.

    And for those who point to other times, places and cultures who had it worse in economic precarity terms and still managed to have babies at or above replacement values. Pitching a significant regression in living conditions as a prerequisite to start a family to Internet-informed and modern educated young couples is not a winning formula for a forward-looking economy.

  30. Has anyone checked out r/regretfulparents?

    I feel sad for both the parents and their kids
