Birth Rate Panic! Not our problem.

Birth Rate Panic! Not our problem.19 mei1 u 27 min

Another week, another birth rate panic!

We recorded this ep before Dr Oz starting shrieking out about “under-babied” Americans, when the UK was freaking out about the death rate possibly exceeding the birth rate…

But guess what bro, the birth rate’s been falling for 50 years! It might be time to accept that and adapt - unless what you’re really worried about is being “replaced” by people who don’t look or live like you?

And even if you believe the birth rate is a problem to be solved, as childfree people, is it our problem? 📉💥
