    Lmao. Society will be fine with less people. If society needs more people, then they can fucking pay them to have children. Literally, it’s that fucking easy. I have friends with three fucking jobs, when would they get to see their kids?

      WE are society. And I agree that something has gone terribly wrong since the 60s/70s regarding worker pay. Are your friends ready to get a fourth and fifth job when the boomers have all retired? Because someone needs to pay for them, as someone will one day pay for us… But who is going to pay, if we won’t have enough kids?

        No no no. I didn’t say pay people more, though that would help.

        Pay people to have and raise children. Having children is work, and if it is integral to society, it should be paid. Reproductive labor (i.e. the labor used to replace the workforce) is currently unpaid, which isn’t particularly crazy given that we always undervalue it, like education and childcare. Pay people for their labor.

        But, as for your last question, how about rich people? Those motherfuckers got an endless supply of money, why don’t they pay the fuck up?

        So the option you give is more work or bringing a innocent to the world to make them work in hell… Yeah clearly a visionary
