I'm genuinely worried that the birthrate won't collapse this year.

Looking at the world around us and how the economy looks hopeless going forward, I genuinely don't want anyone to be taking on having a kid! At this point this a just saying I don't want people to suffer! Still, I know people inevitably will and it is deeply depressing to think about how hopeless the inevitable cycle is. At this point I'd be happy to see just a steep drop in the birthrate due to people waking up, but it barely ticks down year after year.
