> The current KA government made a promise to voters to supply subsidised power and the downstream effect of this is that they must mandatorily supply power to BLR which is the only economic engine of KA. Consequently they end up shafting everyone else.
Just Congress things.
Brings back memories of Congress rule in our state with 9 hours power cut every day in summer.
> The fact that TFR has crashed suddenly that blindsided everyone should be a hint about how supportive governments/society/religion is.
Isn't TFR dropping in urban areas common across the world ?
Do you know of any government or culture that reversed this ?
It is weird that you keep putting the blame on "governments/society/religion" when decreasing TFR is common phenomenon across the (urban) world.
EDIT: I want to make it a bit more clear since you have some trouble understanding nuance.
You can't say culture gives 0 support, and it is backend by 1.6 TFR. Hence, proved.
TFR dropping in common phenomenon across the world. It involves plenty of variables. You can't make up a claim and justify that by showing declining TFR.
> Do you have anything to contribute to the conversation other than trolling or anecdotal examples?
Wasn't your initial claim itself anecdotal evidence ?
> Please refrain from trolling and have a fact based conversation
And what exactly is "I suppose you're one of them right wingers who live in an alternate reality" ? Is that good faith argumentation ? I was thinking you would want me to give it back in kind.
None of what you said is fact based.
> So I suppose 2 or 3 people whose grandparents support them (as per you) are having 2 kids while others have 1 or 0
It is staggering to me that you lack basic reading comprehension skills. Do I have to spoon-feed you what I am disagreeing with ?
Your initial claim: "Neither culture nor religion or the govt does anything to help." Is apparently fact based because ?
From your previous comment: "Gee if all grandparents are helping them why is TFR 1.6 hahaha"
Did I say ALL grandparents support their kids ? Do you lack BASIC comprehension skills ? Why are you arguing a straw man ?
My pushback was on: "Neither culture nor religion or the govt does anything to help.".
And I have told you I know plenty of grandparents who support their kids. I didn't say EVERY grandparent supports their kids. I didn't say this is common across all of India.
But YOU said "Neither culture nor religion or the govt does anything to help." It was YOU who generalized all of India.
You couldn't just take the L.
> This is not reddit. Please refrain from trolling and have a fact based conversation
Ok give me what facts you used to arrive at some of the claims you used in your other comments.
> Very few couples have kids of their own violitin.
Really ?
> culture pressures adults to have kids but gives 0 support
I agree that culture pressures adults. Which facts did you use to conclude that it gives 0 support ?
