It turns out that when people are whinging about “population decline” it’s actually a code word for “we’re afraid people aren’t having enough white babies.” It’s almost always a racist dogwhistle.

For what it’s worth, I use whinging occasionally (I see it as a more specific term than simply “complaining” or “whining”), and I’m a unitedstatesian

The biggest issue with population decline is generally an aging population. The older generations will require care, which we will not have the population to do.
The other issue is the ruling class is trying to replace good jobs with AI, keeping our wages for manual labor jobs low. Those end up bring harder to automate and have lower wages, so the incentive isn’t there yet.

An easy problem to fix with some planning. Incentivize more healthcare professionals by giving better wages and subsidized room and board while in school.

Go back to ye olden hospitals with a guaranteed living quarters ward for hospital staff and I’m pretty sure they would triple applicants just for the housing stability
Meh, its the aging boomers with the hoarded wealth and realestate anyway, thats three birds with one stone.

That’s why we all import new slaves, as our own slaves don’t wanna breed anymore. And the new slaves are even more docile and less demanding, how awesome!
