Rings are body, tentacles attach to head. The mystery about what what could pass for a tentacled head is what I was trying to make a joke about.

Even couples in affluent countries who are having sex might be naturally happy with fewer children. As the cost of child care has soared relative to income, it’s proven quite difficult for public policy to encourage couples to have more kids. The nation of Hungary is experimenting with perhaps the most aggressive pro-fertility policy in the developed world, with housing benefits and large tax exemptions for children far greater than what's offered in the U.S. That nation's fertility rate is still extremely low and far beneath the replacement rate, which might suggest that couples in advanced economies—and, in particularly, educated mothers in advanced economies—simply don’t want more children.

Re: Fragments of an avotoast anthropology
More than that, it's a consequence of undeniable economic differences between modern life versus most of history -- unless you're some exploitative stage-parent type, or you win the Kid Lottery (at least one of your progeny grows up to be superduper rich, and generously shares this with you), having children is a net financial drain, compared to something like an old-school farmer for whom (all else being equal) the more children you have, the better off you'll be: those kids can do valuable farm chores while still young, and most of what they need can be raised on the farm anyway.Hugh Akston wrote: ↑19 Jul 2019, 15:16It is kind of lulzy to see the lefty version of White Fertility Panic, especially when they have to grapple with the idea that this is a consequence of womens liberation.Even couples in affluent countries who are having sex might be naturally happy with fewer children.

Re: Fragments of an avotoast anthropology
By the way, I first came across the obvious-in-retrospect economic difference between parenthood now and parenthood then in Marvin Harris' book "America Now: Anthropology of a Changing Culture," c. 1981. Definitely worth reading if you can find a copy affordably. (Later reprinted in slightly altered form as "Why Nothing Works.") Amazon link.

Re: Fragments of an avotoast anthropology
Interesting and part of the ongoing story of what millennials do when forming households. The math is compelling, and honestly a lot of those places are pretty nice. Hot, yes. I think the long run cultural and political story is a bit more complicated - those places will change those people as much as those people change those places. Mobility is only for the good over the long run.

Re: Fragments of an avotoast anthropology
It depends how you define "red metros" exactly, but cities of 500k+ population with Republican mayors are San Diego, Jacksonville, Fort Worth, El Paso, Oklahoma City, and Fresno. That's obviously a small minority of large cities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_m ... ted_States

Re: Fragments of an avotoast anthropology
Red versus blue tracks population density pretty closely. So on some level there aren't really any red metros.
Red states are states where the metro areas are overwhelmed by the low-population areas. The usual question is how big the cities are relative to the rest of the state. And that's why people moving to the cities from out of state makes the state bluer.
