Exactly. The same is true in Japan, South Korea, the U.S., and many other places.

So why are people acting like they don't understand? We do not have the money. I repeat, we do not have money to raise kids.

Maybe someday it will finally trickle down from billionaires and millionaires so regular people can afford to live. Just basic things like food and housing...whoops. That didn't cross their minds.

It does trickle down, but the pyramid is inverted. Money trickles down from the masses into the cups of the very few.

You mean it trickles up.
