Finally! we've gotten people to stop having children. It's something that only the super rich will be allowed to do!

This is like the standard Reddit response to everything, isn't it? Under every news post you have to figure out how to shoehorn any mention of the "super rich" into your comment for easy karma.

This shit's getting old.

Yeah, you're right! Let's just talk about house of dragons of whatever tv show you find more important in your life than how our society cheapens humans lives.

what a worthless comment you've made. there's so much snootiness and so many presumptions packed into it that it can only have been made to mine that sweet sweet karma. i tip my fedora to you for a job well done.

this article has nothing to do with rich people. doesn't mention them at all. the issue of population decline is not an issue that can be reduced to "billionaire bad". trying to reduce every world issue to a simple "fuck rich people" statement is absolutely worthless. it doesn't highlight any real source of the problem nor does it solve anything. it's just an easy trope you can whip out for social credit.

you're like a vegan who has to make every conversation about their cruelty free turtleneck sweaters.

oh yeah, and rich people tend have way fewer children than poor people across the board, anyway. so not only was your original comment a non sequitur, it was just wrong.

but keep trying to farm that easy karma, tho. i believe in you. make sure to call me a bootlicker or a fascist or something so you won't have to actually consider anything i say :)

You can't act like people's lives are fully and deeply shaped by wealth inequality and the state of the economy. It's why when there's economic turmoil, the birth rate drops for example, which is related to this article.

the birth rate drops for everybody. which brings me back to your bizarre comment about rich people outbreeding the poors.
