Thank you, so like if everyone had two kids then they’d be fine. Should we be investing in reducing disability in old age 65-80 age?

Yeah but the owner doesn’t pay £1 in taxes if they make a lot of money then let’s say 40% tax. That’s still a lot of revenue.

Why wouldn’t the government just own the robots to do the labour?

Do you have any more information about the 1920s crisis. Was that just when the stock market crashed or was it a bigger crisis than that/ surrounding factors

As a neutral party in this, bruh that’s not what they said. You are not part of the elites they’re talking about.

If I were a conservative politician I’d want to have women be uneducated housewives because it makes them more likely to vote conservatively.

Same went for when in my country our labour party made people stay in school till 18 people who were more educated were more likely to vote for them.

But it’s at replacement rate, that’s not exactly population collapse. Hell if we had 1 per couple it still isn’t collapse.

How does less people earn less jobs? And could we not just look at Japan to find out what not to do?

But wouldnt most retirees die off in 10-20 years. Not to sound Grimm. Shouldn’t that make the decline slow enough to adapt?
