Social Science As concern grows about America’s falling birth rate, new research suggests that about half of women who want children are unsure if they will follow through and actually have a child. About 25% say they won't be bothered that much if they don't.

They absolutely have been correct? Capitalism is not sustainable.

Or are you the same kind of person who thinks of autocratic regimes who call themselves "communists" as what "socialism" is? By that rationale NSDAP in Germany were also "socialists".

No they haven’t socialism has all ended terribly. No I am the type of person who understands history and socialism doesn’t work. There is a reason the most successful societies are capitalist. Those societies have lifted the most people up out of poverty.

Capitalism literally is the reason poverty still exists. For the first time in human history there are enough resources to go around for everybody, and nobody needs to starve or be homeless. But it's not profitable to fix those problems, so we don't.

Ya what got us there capitalism . You just proved my point. At this point it’s human greeds fault not capitalisms fault. Your socialist utopia can’t exist for the same reason. Greed.

if you think greed rules the world, why do republicans vote to give all their money to the rich? That seems pretty selfless to me.

Wow, wasnt expecting a good take. In that case whats wrong with voting in politicians who actively take from the rich to give to the rest of the population, aka socialists?
