Really, more a statement about the quality of recreational drugs and streaming content in God's year 2019. Americans are so digitally medicated that coital frequency is down.
Ironically but true to form, G-money just assumed the statement was about him specifically. Meaning being very obviously personal, I'm not comparing value systems between he and I, but I'm certainly suggesting that the erosion of traditional values could be an additional driver of lower birth rates. Which is actually in agreement with his position! I just think the idea that someone would have kids primarily not to be hassled is insufficiently explanatory.
