do you really think the population would be allowed to reduce? GDP growth would never be allowed to slow down (or heaven forbid GDP shrink) and right now countries with low birth rates use immigration to fill that gap.
look at Canada: small birth rate, but aiming for 100 million population by 2100.
capitalism demands unsustainable growth
Multiple wealthy countries have put incentives in place to encourage increased birth rates, all have failed. Other than forcibly inseminating women there's not much they could do.
Forced birth Republicans aren't far from that
I heard they kill kittens with hammers for fun
Kudos to you for finding a way to be so naive in today's world.
Yeah “naive” lol. How many Republicans do you discuss these things with, to find out what Republicans believe.
why do I need to talk to the voters to see the policies that they support by voting Republican?
it seems like you're a Libertarian, voting Republican might make sense to you I guess, because Libertarians with critical thinking skills are Left-Anarchists
It doesn't matter what is "allowed," people in highly developed countries, especially ones with low immigration, are experiencing freefalling birth rates that are already well below the replacement rate, and governments are BEGGING women to have more babies. See South Korea, China, and Japan
you're talking about incentives. I'm talking about restrictions women's rights and education.
do you think that's out of the question? abortion bans are one part of this
lol who’s not gonna “allow” the population to shrink?
abortion bans, contraception bans, sex education bans, sabotaging the education system, limitations on a woman's right to work
