The first thing you do when you are an oligarch is buy up all the media to disseminate your self serving propaganda to distract and confuse the common people who you are preying on. You hire propagandists to write articles making people think their poverty is their fault or an act of god and hard work and obedience is all that can save them... you steal everyone's future, their joy, their hope and dreams and then you write "why are you so sad?". Greece is no exception.
Everything is a fucking scam or rip-off or existential threat anymore from every conceivable direction. Why on earth would you bring a child into this?
Those wondering why America isn't "doing something" about our democracy should also look at us as a preview for their own nations, since oligarchy knows no borders.
It’s simple. Birth rates have dropped because you don’t pay us enough to live, and you refuse to participate in the financial cost of raising all these babies you fucking want. The mother’s hospital stay for a normal birth would financially ruin most American families. No paid leave, and child care costs more than the pay of an entry level position. On top of the financial burdens we’re in the middle of a fascist coup. Why do you want so many babies while you’re trying to kill everyone alive?
In France Macron went "why aren't you guys having children?" and then proceeded to destroy every single social program and make life miserable for everyone

I have 4 siblings and 8 cousins. Only one of us has children because it is so damn expensive.

The Greek government hid debt for decades, politicians lied, that sounds familiar

People whose job includes witnessing rich people actively working to make Hell on Earth: Why is everyone acting like life is terrible?

So long a neoliberalism pervades western culture, no nation will be immune...except maybe the Swiss.

In Switzerland, nearly every law must be approved by the citizens. Not a bad idea.
