Completely Ridiculous

elyusionNo matter what, you cannot convince me decreasing birth rates is a real problem. I don't believe in overpopulation - I think we have enough resources to take care of everyone and then some, when distributed properly - but having less people couldn't hurt. Boohoo, taking care of old people will be hard and expensive, whatever. We just have to ride it out for a while and then it'll be over. Instead we act like civilization requires cancerous growth to continue.
There's no way to get birth rates back up to a "desirable" level without sending women back to a position of servitude, bottom line. No matter how many incentives there are, at the end of the day most women who are completely free to make their own choices, no lack of education or opportunities holding them back, will have few or no children. I'm not even going to get into the racism behind the ideology.
So every time I hear anyone seriously entertain the notion of an international fertility "crisis" I roll my eyes hard. Suck it up and reorganize society if it's that serious. 🖕🏾
