Americans just want to be able to raise a family & thrive but new data shows that 68% of people surveyed say, 'I don't think I can have kids because of the finances associated with it.' Inflation is a big driver this. Families shouldn’t have to struggle to provide basics needs for their children.

"big cycles that we've seen obviously is inflation. So we have some new data where 68 percent of people say I don't think I can have kids because of the finances associated with it. And you know when you look at the deep dig down a little bit more 61 percent say that they are saying I'm going to delay this or maybe reconsider having kids. And most of them are saying it's cost of living and they really feel pressure around that. I feel bad because you know as any parent you guys are all parents will say it's like there's no great time to have a kid. This seems particularly perilous for this generation."

<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">Okay, but what are the young people supposed to do in this world of private equity enabled to pump and dump all the wealth of 90% of people into its pockets with the blessing of the current regime?
It’s impossible to afford housing, healthcare, education etc.
How are the young people to react?</p>
