I agree it's not a problem. It's even more ridiculous when media talks about the costs of caring for the elderly but ignore the costs to raise children are greater than costs to care for the elderly. A shrinking population is great for everyone but the ownership class.

Remember, if oligarchs, right-wing politicians, and billionaires consider something a problem, NO IT FUCKING ISN'T!

Right, I agree, but this conversation always misses the underlying reasons why this is happening:

Women having the freedom to control when we have children.

That's what is truly under attack when the ruling class is pushing for more and more babies. Everyone only wants to talk about the class war on this topic, but they're missing the bigger picture.
