@ryanlcooper.com It's taboo for good reason. It's downstream of actual problems progressives already propose solutions for. You talk about regulating tech companies, but then reference taking kids' phones? What solutions to the birthrate "problem" do you actually propose?
Quoted post from @ryanlcooper.com: it frankly is kind of taboo to discuss these questions on the left, but this piece also doesn't get into the actual most promising policy ideas (limiting smartphone and social media use to the greatest possible extent) https://www.npr.org/2026/01/12/nx-s1-5637424/birthrate-population-babies 10:30 AM Jan 13, 2026 The embedded link to NPR features an image of two women embracing shoulder to shoulder and smiling. The text preview reads: "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." Post from @shaunvids.bsky.social: i am hugely skeptical about the importance of smartphones & social media wrt fertility, but to the extent that they are important, the horse has fully bolted, there. there's no rolling that back. trying to take away phones is just 'undo decades of social change, please' hiding under a sheet 11:47 AM Jan 13, 2026 Reply from @ryanlcooper.com: I don't agree. for instance lots of schools have tried phone bans with apparent success. and fundamentally we're talking about a handful of companies here, most of them located in California. one is them is mass manufacturing child pornography 11:50 AM Jan 13, 2026

@47wise.bsky.social: Ice, at that time, wasn't a rogue bunch of incompetent, murdering a**holes. Only under the current administration did they become exactly that. @sololoner.bsky.social: Louder for the morons in the back
