"not enough kids" like what? not enough kids to make sausage of them? not enough kids to burn them in the kettle of capitalism? not enough kids to flood the labor market with undervalued workers? i tell you what, it's capitalist propaganda that "people should have more kids", because they think it makes the wages fall. what it actually does is create poverty, mass unemployment, working poor, and civil unrest. may the empire be intoxicated by its own poison. may the corporations fall due to the civil unrest that they helped create. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rabber@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago Like the birth rate was too low overall.
