OK, all of this panic about lower birth rates… Is it really that big of a deal? I mean, the planets overpopulated as it is. Can someone clarify this for me? Is it really the crisis people seem to think it is?
it is for rich people. The less ofer the higher the value. If you have less workers the ones you have will cost more and than shareholders won’t have as much profit and CEOs won’t be able to make bilions a year

I think it’s treated as a crisis because the economic charts always need to go up. Infinite growth requires people.
generally a racist/xenophobe thing, there are more than enough people, they’re just not the “right kind”
Lower population in of itself is a good thing.
It’s the change that is disruptive and will cause suffering in ways that are unique to the suffering caused by over population.
As population growth slows, the younger generation needs to support more elderly. Which means we need some combination of:
Working population being more productive. Population making do with less.
However you approach it, there will be segments of the population that are very unhappy.
