Pesticides used in our homes, gardens and lawns and sprayed on foods we eat are contributing to a dramatic decline in sperm count among men worldwide, according to a new analysis of studies over the last 50 years.
Life’s a pyramid scheme where you screw over the next generation by instilling a sense of duty in them to the ones that brought them here, in a non-consensual quid-pro-quo. ‘You were given this gift of life so you must take care of those that gave you this gift’.
Then, of course, in order to keep it going, they themselves do the same, lest they end up holding the bag. Fun fact - some nations had titles like ‘hero mothers’ for people that had 3+ children.
Though, I’d say that it isn’t really fair to collectively punish all retirees as they were also forced into this system by the ones before them and some may have chosen to not participate in it by increasing the population count further.
