Remember when fast food was the backup plan?

The option when money was tight.

A burger and fries is now $15 to $20.

A burger with no fries and no drink is $10.

The backup plan just became unaffordable.

There is no affordable tier left in America.

Not at the grocery store.

Not at the drive through.

Nowhere.

america won't fund a single indoor public play space for kids, but for thirty years a hamburger chain quietly ran free climate-controlled playgrounds in every town, then tore them all out, and nobody held a hearing. the playplace was infrastructure and we won't admit we miss it

My biggest frustration with American culture is that everything is viewed as an imposition.

Don’t ask your loved one about a baby they may have lost, don’t bother new parents, don’t step in with a marriage headed toward divorce, don’t invite yourself over, don’t ask when couples want to have kids, don’t offer any opinions about the affairs of close friends and family.

Actually, maybe you should. And maybe the reason we’re all so lonely is that we insist upon having so much privacy from the people closest to us.

The ultimate scam of the American corporate system is making health insurance tied to your employment. It’s intentionally designed to keep you too terrified to quit a toxic job or start your own business.

Unless I’m working in an ER, working as a paramedic, or working as a firefighter, there’s no reason I should be expected to “thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.” Just fix the terrible management and stop running your office like a circus.

One thing I admire about GenZ is their ability to leave any situation by saying "the vibes are a bit off, I'm out"

Millennials will sit there and take it until their soul comes out to drag them away.

Turns out, everything our grandparents thought was cool, is cool.

Real food. Guns. Fishing. Hunting. Offensive jokes. Not trusting the government. Raising a family. Peace and quiet. A simple life.

With all this talk about pregnancy and midriffs can we please all agree on one thing...

I don't want to see the midriff of anyone under the age of 17.

This is my hot take, and yes, I do judge parents for it. It's one of the very few mum judges I allow myself.

Women aren’t struggling because they’re women.

Many struggle because they’re expected to work as if they don’t have children and parent as if they don’t have jobs or other responsibilities.

That reality is often ignored, but it has real consequences.

At the end of the day, that makes it a women’s health crisis.

Albanians have shown just how much they love their country. Yes, Albania, yes! The people of Albania have made history and made their nation proud. A truly unforgettable moment!

My take on child-free weddings is that the guest list isn’t the issue.

Why the hell are we attending a party for two people who are already living together and having sex, don’t like or want kids, and no change occurs?

[Rebecca V. Proud American 🇺🇸 @AntiCommieBecca]

I think what conservatives are trying to say with the birth rate discussion, is the world is a better place when you have more young families in it.

Seeing young families implies safety, security, joy & the future.

As a mother of five, I totally agree!

BUT you have to have a culture that prioritizes that & we don’t! We have a culture that says children should be seen and not heard. That frowns when families walk on an airplane or in a restaurant. That believes families are a hindrance and society should be built around the desires of adults.

If you want to see more young families, you have to build society around THEM & there seems no desire to do that.😒
