      So the option you give is more work or bringing a innocent to the world to make them work in hell… Yeah clearly a visionary

      No no no. I didn’t say pay people more, though that would help.

      Pay people to have and raise children. Having children is work, and if it is integral to society, it should be paid. Reproductive labor (i.e. the labor used to replace the workforce) is currently unpaid, which isn’t particularly crazy given that we always undervalue it, like education and childcare. Pay people for their labor.

      But, as for your last question, how about rich people? Those motherfuckers got an endless supply of money, why don’t they pay the fuck up?

          Cool, so why do we need to have children in that case? I don’t see any reasons in there to maintain current levels of population, even if the rich were paying their fair share, which they’re not.

          It just sounds like you think we need more children to feed to the machine, and I disagree.
