You said ban birth control and porn? Got it.
Comment on Why aren't you creating more workers??

Want higher birthrates? Just convince people that tomorrow will be better than today.
That’s how you see a spike in birth rates.
To maintain a steady birthrate, just convince potential parents that the world will not be any worse for their children than it is today.
See, easy.

UK is already on it, lock up anyone for speaking about pantomime action.

So that’s why suddenly there’s all this interest in banning porn

Also homosexuality, except for the wealthy.

They’re taking the opposite approach.
In the past families had a bunch of kids because they needed extra laborers to stay afloat, plus childhood mortality rates were so dire they needed spares to cover for the ones who wouldn’t make it.
We’re already seeing pushes towards removing child labor laws, and RFK Jr is well on his way to ensuring death from easily preventable diseases makes a comeback.

Capitalist Corporations: … hmmmm … i guess there’s no choice … artificial human breeding it is!

Capitalism would also charge for every part of the process, raising the price as some techno feudal lord thinks they can find the right balance between extinction pricing and maximum shareholder value.

Then they do the calculation on the costs to raise the children and decide it’s not economically viable.
AA5B@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s always economically viable, just a matter of tracking all the expenses and adding it to the child’s debt. As soon as it’s old enough to work you can garnish it’s wages for all that unpaid debt
ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
It would be economically viable up to a certain age. And if you maintained a certain age average, costs could be easily maintained to sustainable levels.
When you start analyzing the world and people as a series of costs and expenses, it’s very easy to find solutions.
As humans, we’ve already done that many times before … most recently in the 1940s on an industrial scale … we are capable of doing it again.

If we’re going that route billionaires are less economically viable than children…

I feel like this is a plot of a dystopian movie somewhere where they breed artificial humans to make into slaves
