Low GDP growth, high unemployment, more immigrants. All lead to more dependence on Big Brother.
I have six kids 11 to 26 years old.
We started early, first child on my wife's 24th birthday.
Our second daughter gave us a grandchild before we were fifty.
My three oldest each own a house.
Back in the day they had gender reveal parties in the delivery room.

PROBABLY???
Broke my elbow falling of a porch around 9 or 10
Broke wrist in gym class around 11 or 12
Broke four bones in my foot around 13 or 14
Tore my rotator cuff at 15 during a wrestling match, ended up pinning the other guy.
Dislocated my shoulder 11 times before it was repaired. The surgery was 3 hours (no orthoscopic back then). Recovery from the surgery was hell for about two days.
