"If the chattering classes of Europe need a cautionary tale, they can look further afield than Japan. Michael Deacon's recent column casts a dire portrait using a simple formula: fewer babies in Japan equals societal collapse, and by that logic, Britain's increasing childlessness threatens to do the same. But this logic is flawed at its core, and to assume British millennials' choices stem from mere selfishness is to misunderstand the situation entirely."

Yeah I hate this shit. I'm a few years younger though. Nothing like being 18 and the only places hiring are McDonald's and temp labor. I'm where I should be able to afford a house only for interest rates to be jacked while prices go through the roof.
