   the people who are overly concerned about "declining birth rates" are always sketchy as hell.

   Declining birth rates are often a sign of a well off society.

     @rotteras not especially. it just means the population is contracting a bit and it'll sort itself out eventually.

     @rotteras then you need to pay workers way more. If they're that critical to keeping the system going they need to be compensated properly.

     @Rasp yes and no ig, at least with how stuff works rn (e.g. retirement).

     @rotteras if you pay young people more they would actually have enough retirement saving to need way less support

     @Rasp hm.. how would that change that specificly?
     What I mean is that you need a lot of new folks that each pay a little so a few old people can live off of that.

     Or do you mean paying the young ones more so you can take more to give to old folks?
