Which would be fine with me, because I hate sushi. But the “no internet thing” would be a problem. Because I love cat videos.”

“when fertility rates began collapsing in the late 1960s, another demographic transition was occurring, the result of a fundamental restructuring: People no longer put children at the center of their lives. Instead, they put themselves there.”
