    Ancedotal: I wanted 3 kids. I have none. I’d like to think I’d produce a better than average member of society. While I have more money than many Americans, I don’t feel like I have job security, financial security, and I see my country in a decline, where quality of life is lower than it was during my childhood, and my parents lifetime.

      That’s the thing… They don’t want you to produce a better than average member of society. Better than average members are less likely to accept low wages in crap jobs without complaining. There are only a handful of good paying jobs in the future and those are for nepo-babies. Merit no longer matters.
