Man, this is a dumb take. Even if there were a correlation (which there apparently isn't, per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31899793 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31899793), there's zero way you can say that there's any sort of causational relationship. Look, I can do this too: * highly-developed western societies have lots of regulation * highly-developed western societies have low birth rates * highly-developed western societies have a high percentage of lawyers per capita ergo, lawyers decrease the birth rate?
