    I-was-saying I think declining birth rates are fine as long as people are comfortable and happy and therefore they should have improved material conditions anyway.

      that’s fine, just saying it’s something future society will have to plan for and figure out. i don’t have all the answers it just grinds my gears when men act like “just pay women and they will go back to having kids” is somehow a woke idea or even holds any water at all. not saying you were doing that, and like i said there are thankfully few culprits in this thread but i still have a bad taste in my mouth from the last couple struggle sessions about this.

        Sorry but what is the issue to solve for actually? I don’t even understand why declining birth rates would be a problem in the first place? There would just be less people around no?

        Edit: oh I read another comment further down that sounded off on a few issues with population drops. Seems complicated, so I’ll have to do some research.
