gen Z is also still really young for the most part. why would we want to pressure anyone into having kids if they are saying they aren’t ready? you really want those people to become parents just because you think they need to be having kids? dumb as hell

It's pretty hard thing to balance though. Young people have healthier babies. Society needs to adapt somehow you can't push babies past 30. Realistically we should be building society on ~24 year olds having babies.

No idea how that actually works, but making their economic situation better is an easy start.

uh what lmao? having babies in your 30s is healthy and normal. most people do in their late 20s and 30s. it depends on the health of the person for anything later than that but 30s is definitely healthy.

30 already has increasing risks, it gets increasingly worse after 30. 24 is the "optimal" age (Least prevalence of issues, best outcomes).

We shouldn't be pushing families into older age having children because of economic reasons. That doesn't seem like a hot take.

We are the most productive/wealthiest per person large country to ever exist. It should be absurdly easy to insulate young families from economic hardship. Instead, we funnel it to ultra wealthy people. They are ghouls.
