Our system is simply not set up for declining populations.
I’d like to think the declining birth rates are a natural correction, and that with fewer people, real estate will come down, and tuitition will drop, etc., but I think the problem isn’t scare resources, it’s wealth inequality.
And if we decided to move back into liveable cities, we’d have plenty of resources.
Our system is not set up for anything other than to make the richest people richer, by exploiting the labour of the rest of the people.
Our real system, the closed system known as planet Earth is not set up for endless growth of a human economy. All populations go through growth and crash cycles. The longer we push off the decline, the harder the crash will be.

No doubt. Media is rich people propaganda 100%. If anyone has any economists speaking against perpetual population growth, let me know.
