The No-Kid Zone: Lowered Birth Rates and Growing Hostility to Children

Is American culture hostile to children? With certain hotels, resorts, restaurants, and other public spaces forbidding the presence of kids, and the government ending its extremely popular pandemic-era family aid program, and the endless social media complaints about screaming children and bad parenting, yeah okay maybe. But is this a new development, or are we inventing a golden age where children were treasured and welcomed? What would a society that actually accommodated children (or women, or disabled people, or the impoverished etc etc) look like? Jessa and Nico talk about the history of feminist urban planning, the real reason no one wants to end remote work (our cities are broken), and depopulation hysteria.
