It's the most horrendous correlation-is-causation I've ever seen.

And people outside US have it better, but the trajectory is mostly the same everywhere, so you're just full of shit.

It's not easy to have children ANYWHERE, and in most places it just too expensive or downright impossible due to childcare issues or tons of other things.

I'm talking about historic data and you're unable to understand what that means in terms of variation in quality of life over time. Even when people could make it on a single income they didn't have 2.1 kids if they had the means to prevent it.

Hell, millionaires and billionaires don't have enough kids to renew the population either, but I guess you will find some way to not understand that either.

What the fuck are you on about?

"Billionares are parenting on average 2.99 children"

It's you who mixes shit with stats and acting tough.

Shut up.

The average number of children among the 512 billionaires was 2.64, with US and Russian billionaires having higher averages of 2.8 and 3.2, respectively. The average number of children was also higher among older billionaires, **ranging from 1.05 among billionaires aged less than 45 ** to 3.2 among billionaires aged over 75. Among female billionaires, the average number of children was 2.41, while among males, it was slightly higher at 2.66. Tables 1-4 provide a detailed breakdown of the data.

1.05 kids for the ones under 45, will you look at that, just like everyone else in their generation, they don't have kids!

I have no clue if you're a bot or just an unbearable asshole, but you are proving me right by showing that PEOPLE DECIDE NOT TO HAVE KIDS WHEN THE WORLD IS FUCKING BURNING, yet those who were born earlier and had all the contraception and womens rights HAD NO ISSUE WHEN THEY HAD THE WEALTH.

GTFO

You think billionaires care about the world turning to shit? It doesn't affect them!
