the thing is these are good things for their own sake but they do not actually work to increase the birthrate, as the European experience largely shows. pretty much nothing increases the birthrate that we've found so far, whether good welfare state stuff or natalist nationalism and anti-choice shit.
leftist plan to increase the birthrate:
- universal health care
- free child care
- better paid family leave
- better workforce protections so they can't lay you off while you're pregnant and be like "no it was for something else i swear"
ok i did it

As birthrates tumble, some progressives say the left needs to offer ideas and solutions
The US and other countries face aging, shrinking populations. Conservatives have shaped debate over the issue. Some liberals say it's time for progressives to weigh in.

Picked up a used copy of this edition of the NRSV that covers the whole Bible in short readings over two years (generally one from the OT and one from the NT).

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

I watched a couple episodes of Heated Rivalry with my wife and my main reaction is I'm struggling with the show's universe where hockey players are treated like A-list celebrities. Is this what living in Canada is like?

It's the birthday of Marvel founding father, John Buscema. One of my favorite comics of all time is SILVER SURFER #3 (the introduction of Mephisto), which features some of Buscema's most exquisite art. Inks by the great Joe Sinnott.
