There's no fertility crisis among the ultra rich, precisely bc they are not constrained by wealth and can provide maximal attention and resources to any number of kids

https://twitter.com/rollingstone/status/1684550056748126212The culture is dead. Cooked through completely. Every inch of it has been colonized to sell competing kitsch merch. Every pocket of free, unclaimed territory has been processed through the kitsch filter. This kind of deep woods grit-country is just the latest casualty. Sad!
