Birthrates are plummeting worldwide. Can governments turn the tide?

Stork shortage. They're on the threatened species list.

It's happening in over half the world's nations, more than just white and East Asian nations.

Mexico, Grenada, India, Ecuador, Vietnam are already at 2.0 or lower

And the world worked just fine with a population of 5-7 billion, LMAO @ the idea we’re supposed to just keep climbing.

CAPITALISM

 

[the cac mamba]

IVF costs almost $50,000 on average just to get pregnant, it's still too expensive.

i've never had too much sympathy for this, since orphanages are full

yeah, obviously it's not the same, but some people just don't hit the genetic lottery. and it's a very small percentage of people, so it's not like it's some huge problem for society. if you can't have a kid naturally, just adopt one

You know this is what they want. Bill gates already came out and said that theyre doing population control.

 

[O.Red]

Yes if they pay people

No, this is NOT what is wanted

This is why there's such a move to ban abortion, porn, and ultimately semi-ban contraceptives.

They want more ppl being born to continue being cogs in the wheel so the elite can continue to make money. They want things to be as they once were.
And continue that way.

America - 5% of global population uses 25% of global resources.

Overpopulation is the only problem.

Everything else like pollution and poverty stems from there.

SOHH good.

The article asks can they, but should they?

Why is that a bad thing other than how it affects capitalistic markets? Continued growth is not just impossible, but exactly what cancerous cells do. Multiplication without rhyme or reason until the entity the cancer pulls energy from is dead.
