  • That was the route I went.

    But I kind of see the issue the natalists are talking about. Modern economy and social safety nets are built on the idea that people will have more than 2 kids. Since that hasn’t been happening in most modernized economies for the last 30 years, we are seeing constrictions coming. No one knows how this will play out. Japan is probably the best example of how to manage population loss, but even that could doom them to irrelevance soon.

    Population decline is kind of a cascading event. I feel like the movie children of men helps visualize what the world in population decline can become.






  • But that is what CEO’s want. They want to pay for a near super human to do all of the different skill sets ( hiring, firing, finance, entry level engineering, IT tickets, etc) and it looks like it is starting to work. Seems like solid engineering students graduating recently have all been struggling to land decent starting jobs. I’ll grant it’s not as simple as this explanation, but I really think the wealth class are going to be happy riding this flaming ship right down into the depths.
