For the first time since 1850, when the U.S. Census Bureau started recording nativity data, immigration accounted for the entire growth of the U.S. population between 2022 and 2023, amid falling U.S. birth rates.
Back in the day, one Union job could pay for a family of four with a few luxuries and a reasonable nest egg.
In 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the average US home was $11,000.00
Anyone could afford to start a family.
Today, you can have two people on minimum wage living together can’t afford to go to a concert every week, much less raise a kid.
Well, the concert every week thing is an issue regarding ticket inflation caused by Ticketmaster and their subsidiaries; but I digress.
As for raising a kid, yeah, they’re expensive and everything is pretty shit now. I’m sure most people that want to raise a kid in a good environment want to have a home first (I know I did), and that’s effectively impossible right now.
The other part, kids are hit with tons of extra fees these days. Nothing is included, everything cost extra, and it adds up. For example I don’t think there is a week that goes by were his school is not asking for donations or setup some dumb event that requires more money. Like pajama day cost $2 if they want to participate… Sports is not only a fee anymore but you have to pay for everything extra and uniforms as well which is funny because they are normally sponsored which i thought meant that business donated the money or uniforms so we didnt have to. Everything is nickle and dimed these days, which also doesn’t help.
So you’re saying kids these days are published with a buncha DLC and microtransactions?!
Why anyone would want to come here is beyond me.
US Imperialism colonization damaged their original country.
Might want to check out the list of colonial countries by UK and France.
People go there too. I heard uk is a Muslim country now.
It’s a shame you don’t own a device that supports a search engine like ‘AskJeeves.’
Then you could check and find out the truth instantly.
LOL. I wish my comments above the one you replied to were clear that the one you replied to was a sarcastic comment. Thanks for sharing the link though, and please save your anger for Ketamusk, who continues to exploit workers in Asia to produce fascist cars.
It’s 2025 and satire/sarcasm are dead.
I’m sure there are people who absolutely believe that London has no churches and you can’t walk a block in NYC without being attacked.
