I'm GenX and not surprised by this at all. I came to the same conclusion 30 years ago.

Accurate.
I thought my future would be cooler.
Hence socialism.
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.
Got my vasectomy a few years ago, best $500 I ever spent.
Check with your insurance. A lot of them will pay for it.
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
More generally the sixth mass extinction
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 we were good without mass shooting until we ended up having mass knifing instead

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
I doubt they were referring to the US, guns have only increased here lately.
No, it's a very safe place to live. Violent crime is rare overall. Most Americans have never seen anyone shot actually in person. The news coverage of the vast landscape of the USA focuses on each event of violence to magnify its emotional impact to get views
Oh and don't forget the AI replacing all of our jobs and skynet causing the extinction of mankind.
Quality over quantity and only if you are willing to make sacrifices.
yeah lol i'm never having kids
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.
These kids don't know what happens outside of their happy 1st world country
