    Good. They’re overpopulated and under-developed.

    Why the fuck are people worried about this? This is a great thing. Good for them, keeping their population under conrtol.

    Someone tell India.

      I think it’s the “economy”. We’ve set up systems where the young pay out the older people. At least that’s my uneducated understanding of the situation.

      However what’s funny is that the economy under China (and most places in the world) is why people aren’t having kids now. It’s probably done more de-population than the one child policy.

        Capitalism expects infinite growth, which is impossible and unsustainable.

        It’s time for a new system. Feels like that time is now as it appears capitalism is slowly collapsing on itself.

        I think it boils down to you need a lot of kids to run a farm due to the manual labor demands. You don’t need a lot of kids to work in a factory or office.
