    I get what the title is trying to say, but it is pretty poorly written because low birthrates DO strain social security. However inequality causes lower birthrates which in turn strains social security

      That isn’t what the title is saying.

      Basically the percentage of taxable income has dropped drastically. The wealthy’s income has spiked drastically compared to less monetarily-gifted citizens. So the population is putting less money into social security. That drop is hitting a lot harder than just have fewer workers.

        Thanks for clarifying. Your interpretation does make more sense.

      I’m for reducing the birthrate to zero until inequality is fully addressed.

      You have to either be a monster or truly not care about anyone to bring a non-wealthy child into this work camp as our very habitat fails by our own sabotage. Why? Because misery loves company? Because the job creators want new capital batteries for their progeny to drain the life force of?

      Oh I know, because the owners promised 50 years ago that if we gave them ALL the money and power, and we did for some reason, one day they would emerge from their guarded towers to whip their cocks out and urinate golden showers of prosperity upon all of us, and though you won’t live to see it, surely your child will amirite!

          No I leave it to the owners. Those bootlicker’s kids are going to have a worse time than their parents.
