  1. In defense of "entiteled Zoomers", who's gonna birth the next generation? To have kids, you have to have sufficient income, to feed the family and you need to be able to do it, at least for a while, on single income and save up for retirement. If 60 000 USD is poverty wages these days (just try that in NYC, SF, or literally anywhere, where there are high paying jobs), then demanding 600 000 USD might still look ludicrous, but also reasonable, given you will have expenses just holding down the job! What are the expenses associated with holding down a job, that pays 600 000 USD? What's the net total take home pay, after you deduct taxes and job related expenses like gas, tools (ranging from literal wrenches and suits to software), car/household reparis, recommended 20% of income to be put into savings for retirement, etc.? I ran the numbers back in a day for the country of Czechia, where I live in, and I came to about 60 000 CZK a month (most incomes and expenses are on a monthly basis around here), while median wage at the time was around 30 000 CZK. That was before the pandemic, when we had some 18% inflation for a while! Today, that wouldn't even cover rent and utilities in a ghetto (I know, I live in one). Knowing all this, tell me, is this really entitelment? Who in their right mind would wife up (not taking divorce laws into consideration) and have kids, which are kind of necessary for the society exist going forward? It is true, that money is not the only reason for low birth rates, but it is a contributing factor. Hell, how is a man supposed to impress a woman, when he can't even afford a coffee in a nice coffee house? How is he supposed to find a job, when he can't afford even to buy and maintain scooter? Why would a woman have a kid in her best years from fertility standpoint (18-24 years old), when that is the time, when people have no, or below minimum economic wage income?! This has to change, if we're to survive as a species, hence, why there should be not just a minimum wage strictly linked to local cost of living, but also mandate to hire young people to ensure, that we at least procreate!
