Well, now ain’t it just plain as day that capitalism in this modern world ain’t doin’ folks no favors when it comes to birth rates? It downright builds a society that’s hostile to the very things that make babies happen. Just look at how birth rates plummeted in the post-Soviet states after the USSR fell.
The only time capitalism ever made havin’ youngins worth a damn was back when folks was workin’ the land by the dozens, before tractors came along, or when you could send a child down a mineshaft to squeeze into some death trap of a machine. South Korea’s just the worst-case scenario playin’ out in real time.
