They need consumers. It's not some long game, master plan-type of thing. It's a short term thing that's just being pushed by a bunch of different lobbies/interests.
American politicians, lobbyists and general population are all drinking the same low-IQ Kool aid.
I get that… but it’s kinda like China with the one child law…. No one said “hey, eventually this will make our population decline.”? It’s mind bottling that none of them thinks further than the next yacht.
Population decline was the point of the one child policy. To help stop, among other things, environmental collapse.
The point of one child was not to decline the population, but to level it off, to help with resources. They left it in place waaaaaay too long and have reached a point where reversing it will be a Herculean effort.
Every advanced country is going to have population decline, as most women don't actually want to have kids. Or at least have enough kids to maintain the current population levels.
Umm, I’d like to see statistics or data on that. Sounds more like an opinion.
