In today's episode, we look at the many challenges Americans face if they want to become parents, and the questions one has to answer to make such a decision.

Ayyyy a Shady Katy episode, noice!

Squire from the Shire

I always love to see a Katy ep, but I can already tell from 40 seconds in this one is gonna hurt. Katy has a unique set of skills for making me laugh and cry at the same time.

Yes, Christ please Al stop having kids you prehistoric caricature of a man.

Is old age care even a valid reason though? My parents joked that they had kids so we would take care of them in thier old age, but then they were such assholes our whole lives none of us 3 kids give a shit what happens to them now. I think they even know because they finally moved to the South to be with "people like them". (Like I'm not even exaggerating, they are super right wing, just batshit conspiracy theorist loving insane people.) But even if we cared, I don't know how we would help? I barely bought my first condo in my 40s, my oldest sister is still in an apartment in her 50s. Only my baby sister lives in a home big enough to even have an extra bedroom and that's only because she moved to in a rural area 2 hours from the nearest major hospital. And things look even more grim for Gen Z. Generational wealth is moving backwards into Generational debt in the US.

"Aww hey lil mine-baby " *coughing* lolol omg! Amazing episode wow.

Chris Combs

I already know the answer for me is "hells no" but I'll watch anyway.

Marissa Lopez

My daughter will be 24 in Nov, and I used to play SMN for her all the time. She still watches the show, I've done my part, Katy!

Matthew McCoy

We need a name for Katy hosted episodes. Maybe a Katy Carnival?

I should; I've earned it. But I mustn't.

The pictures chosen for the leftists and conservatives on kids were brilliant.

I do note that my sons actually introduced me to this podcast.

"Mom, I killed a guy!" <3

Oh man, I love Katie episodes, but I think I have to skip watching this one. I've never missed an episode of the showdy but this one hits too close to home.

All 5th grade kids made the world a better place than Dennis Prager by default, because he has dedicated his life to making the world a worde place. Zero is higher than a negative number, after all.

Too late, i just had one ten days ago :0 Looking forward to hearing the episode 💕

Eric Herde

Great episode! Just have to point out that maps of carbon emissions should show per capita, otherwise they make large countries like India, China, US, Brazil, and Indonesia look worse than we actually are.

Uthor

Maybe I missed it, but one reason a lower birth rate is less worrying is because those children have a much better chance of living long enough to have kids of their own. A lot more kids were dying before adulthood in the past.

I appreciate the episode, but some of the arguments felt a little incoherent / half-baked. How do we reconcile these two quotes? "There's also the argument that you should have kids because no one else will look after you when you get old.... It's a grimly practical reason -- but it *is* a valid reason." "It's fucked up to think of having babies as a utilitarian act rather than one from love. It's a sad frame of mind leading to a weird and sad existence that would lead to sad children. So maybe that's not a good idea or reason to have a baby." Which is it? Is having kids for [practical, utilitarian] elder care purposes a "valid" reason or a "not good" reason?

I also feel the environmental claims the show is making here are deeply irresponsible. "None of this really matters when it comes to climate change" (a verbatim quote) just isn't right. True, our individual choices are insufficient to stop climate change -- we also need radical economic and political transformation -- but that doesn't mean your personal actions *don't have consequences.* They absolutely do, and those consequences add up. Recycling and using public transit are also inadequate on their own, but should we stop recycling and start flying in private jets? No, that would be lunacy. Wherever you come down on the child-bearing question, it IS an extremely carbon-intensive choice, especially if you live in a wealthy part of the world. Personal choice isn't everything, but it matters.

I got a bit of record scratch at “Old people will have to work longer because there’s not a younger workforce to replace them”…. WOW the number of things wrong with this red herring. What a way to guilt people who have been systematically wage-thefted out of their retirement into thinking they need to stick around until a replacement arrives…. It’s that classic workplace technique of just foisting more work onto a dwindling staff because the management wants to save some coins, translated into some societal obligation that workers have to carry. But it’s no surprise that white supremacists, religious extremists and people whose fathers were drunk all the time don’t have sound or humane motivations. This video took a dystopian turn for me when I realized we have nothing to offer workers, families, children, immigrants, or parents when it comes to societal support. The right wing is trying so hard to prevent all those parts of society from getting any resource, it’s clearly pathological. Our governance is overrun with pathological mental cases bent on an ethnically cleansed, holy dreamscape of idiotic infantile exclusionism. It’s the most spectacular bid for genocide and authoritarianism ever. So yeah, have babies or nah?
