      It is a very complex issue but imo the main reason is cultural. Children’s place hasn’t caught up in the 21st century. You’re expected to be a helicopter parent while both parents work minimum 40 hours a week. It wasn’t like this before. Not even that long ago parent’s lives weren’t expected to be shaped around their kids. Genuinely wouldn’t be surprised to see childcare become something like healthcare in America where it’s integrated with your job. Getting a bit tired of the blame billionaires for everything. There is a lot they are to be blamed for but it is becoming the lazy accusation.

      Bilo je prije trideset godina riječ da će roboti zamijeniti radnike i da će radnici biti višak.

      How many kids per $100.000 per year should one have? 😂 Billionaires are obviously the ones not reaching the minimums

      You can tell that educational standards are dropping when rather than explain in depth about how the post 1970s world economic system & asset price inflation has resulted in both parents need to work in order to afford the home that in the 60s just one breadwinner was able to, just blame it on “billionaires”.

      There are 8 or 9 billion people. We don’t need more and things were fine and would be fine with much less.

      If you had to design a system that had finite resources and the best you could come up with is a system that is dependent on exponential growth of the things that consume those resources you would not be very bright.

      Of course they want more people to use as wage slaves.

      The greatest threat to humankind is the billionaires.

      We will probably be replaced by robots and AI later on, so why would he want to boost the birth rate?

      In a developped economy the children are viewed more as consumption “goods” than labour assets.

      A kid’s upbringing is literally connected to everything… even if you finished with everything at an inheretence standpoint having 3 or more kids leave them with less inheretence and assets that are in general difficult to break down to pieces (real estate).

      The ones reaping the benefits are of course companies (more consumers, employees, clients) and the goverment (more workforce, taxpayers).

      So the question is why a person should face significantly in time, money, emotional complexity, sentimental complications when it can “acquire” a similar emotion with 2 or less offsprings.

      “Billionaires demand more babies (slaves) so that their properties won’t devalue over time, will have larger pool of people to pull workers on barely livable wage from and more consumers to finance their shit”. Truly an amazing motivation to have kids.

      Nobody in their right mind should get kids in this day and age…

      How they can stay rich if the pool of peones shrinks ? How techfeodalism can happen if there are no serfs ?

      “Billionaires” aren’t making parenthood unaffordable and our grandparents raised their kids with far less material security than we have.

      Billionaire logic: If you have worry about the cost of parenthood you’re not breeding material.

      Every country with high QoL has lower birth rates

      I’ve never been convinced you can move the needle materially to boost birth rates by making it more affordable.

      As long as both partners have to work 40 hours per week to even be able to stay financially afloat, they’re not gonna have kids. Too expensive and no time for kids. Maybe billionaires need to find out a solution to this problem instead of just complaining about it.

      They could start by significantly raising wages, so that more people can afford to work less hours.
