  • That’s not the issue. Wealth became too consolidated. America’s baby boomers weren’t born for efficiency of labor hands. They were born because one person could work one full time job at most employers and afford a house, a car, bills, a few kids, and a vacation every year.

    Now that’s not possible for very much of the workforce at all. Raising kids hasn’t gotten that much more expensive to raise in relation to other basic needs. It’s just that all those other basic needs tend to take up a lot bigger portion of your paycheck. People already struggling don’t want to add children to the pile of their struggles.

Takes like 5 minutes or less. That way every time someone moves out you can keep things secure without replacing the lock.
