"We need to make children to support the older generations"

[Estro Felino]

This thread reminds me of something I saw a while back...

Oof... Looks like trouble is on the horizon for older generations in Italy

Italy had 45 million people in the fifties, and people were doing fine.
There was the economic boom.
So we need to return to that number.
But it's impossible, because they keep making babies.

For comparison, here is what the generational demographics in the USA looks like. Compare the two. Do you see a problem?

It perfectly makes sense because the United States have a monetary sovereignty, they are much richer than us.
I am 100% sure that among the 393,000 babies born last year in Italy, at least 80% were from rich families, who can afford them.

What about India? They have a much healthier and even generational growth than both the USA and Italy

I suspect something else

We are speaking of first world here. Where contraception and healthcare ensure birth control.

Ehhh... I suspect more is at work than just birth control or monetary security, though I do think both of those things contribute. I feel there's a cultural influence as well. For example, look at South Korea. As far as monetary wealth goes, they are doing very well for themselves as far as I'm aware

Well...it deals with people who cannot breathe unless they gain their daily million of dollars.
I guess that that's what they say in their Lord's prayer.
So I don't think they want to renounce that pleasure...they just want citizens to breed and make new babies, future slaves.

What on Earth are you talking about, and how come you aren't addressing what I said?
