This here is straight up one of the biggest reasons I do not want a kid. Right now it sure seems like the best thing I could do for my children is not force existence upon them.
If I look at world news for the decade I was born (and more importantly, contemporary sources for what was actually happening in that decade), I can tell you two things. 1: That decade was objectively worse than the current one for a large fraction of earth’s population, and 2: I don’t resent my parents for birthing me into that decade. I’d rather be alive than not, and that’s mostly history now anyway.
The best part of my above comment, is you can’t tell what decade I was born from the content. They were all f’n bad.
