When you don't have kids it's way harder to force you to do things, and way easier to make time for serious protest.

I agree with the message but I don't know if arsenic + toxic algae in water necessarily deserve two separate slots in the Top 8 Prospective Millennial Parent Worries.
I'm more worried about the plastic, pesticides, degraded pharmaceuticals and heavy metals myself
Yes, including... freshwater fish! https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jan/18/freshwater-fish-contaminated-forever-chemicals
JFC, I keep track on the PFAS situation but I've missed this. I have friends who fish and eat from Ontario.
PFAS chemicals should really be what we're worrying about. They never break down, they're highly carcinogenic, and they're used in a lot of plastics.

I thought my future would be cooler.
Got my vasectomy a few years ago, best $500 I ever spent.
Accurate.
yeah lol i'm never having kids
The first part of your username had me thinking you were wrong, but the last part checks out.
Had me dead 💀
I thought we were good without mass shooting until we ended up having mass knifing instead
Honestly we need to seriously investigate what would cause someone to do something so destructive.
Ultimately I think it all falls on failure on the government's behalf. They're the only ones who can fund services in order to improve the lives of those more likely to commit violent crimes.
But of course they won't do because they're spending their money and energy looking after themselves and their rich mates.
Don't forget the role the media plays. Turning the attacker into a celebrity. Turning their kill count into a high score. Dehumanizing the victims.
Research has shown for years that covering of mass attacks results in more. Something should have been done decades ago to control the coverage, buuuut "first ammendment" and "freedom of the press."
Oh yeah, I'm sure that the press in the US are as bad, if not worse than those in the UK.
They need to be held accountable, but something tells me that those who run the press are also the same people in charge of our laws 😶
The US is just a rough place.
Doesn't matter if you give them nukes, guns or knives.
It doesn't matter? Ok, let's legalize personal nuclear weapons. Background check optional.
I made a joke obviously
And I'm obviously being 100% serious. I yearn for a world where everyone carries a tiny nuclear warhead in their pocket. It's the only way to achieve mutually assured self-defense.
I doubt they were referring to the US, guns have only increased here lately.
We are a pretty violent people.
Oddly enough, I feel were pretty docile too. Especially after watching France riot for two years less retirement. I mean, we just rolled over and let ours die out.
Blocking traffic is a sin, shooting up a mall or school or whatever... bad day.
Maybe we're too violent to get together long enough to organize.

Hence socialism.
Totally, none of the more socialist countries have any of these issues whatsoever, completely climate neutral, zero emissions, zero toxic chemicals spills, no overfishing, no deforestation, no paving over everything with more roads and factories.
This, but unironically.
I wish I could live in your dream world. I‘m not even kidding, please give me a piece of the propaganda where I can for one second believe that socialism and some benevolent dictator or something is the magic pill to save the climate. It might soothe me. Link something.
A whole lot better than letting oil company ceos run the world into the ground

Oh and don't forget the AI replacing all of our jobs and skynet causing the extinction of mankind.
I have a few millennial friends who are having kids. I'm still deciding whether or not to have them and possibly just adopt and provide for a kid in need rather than bring a new one onto this plane of existence (if others exist).
I'm never fucking having kids the government can go fuck themselves the same way I'm expected to go fuck myself in this barely sustainable hellscape that is the modern job and housing market.
Same, my partner and I will be saving all that extraoney we save not having children for ourselves.

Just don't look up
Only the ones that will make things worse
Yes.
Quality over quantity and only if you are willing to make sacrifices.
When you don't have kids it's way harder to force you to do things, and way easier to make time for serious protest.
