Then we wouldn't be able to produce that much. The next question will be then, why should we produce more and more? All these ideas are based on constant growth, even the natality discussion is about getting a birth rate bigger than some other country. But can we grow forever? Or maybe we are approaching an inflexion point, and we should (sooner or later) adapt the thinking instead of the birth rates? Even the retirement benefits are not a god-given but a strategic planning and like just any planning it can be adapted. And also should, I think.
- foldr 2y agoI agree. I don't necessarily think that low birth rates are a crisis. My point is that anyone who thinks that they are ought to be in favor of the government spending a lot of money to fix the crisis.
