  • Low birth rates are only a crisis for the capitalists (and actually not even that, see below). They increase wages and improve living standards for the population.

    We’re gonna hit an unemployment crisis in 10-15 years, partially due to AI replacing white-collar workers. If we have a lot of unemployed people, capitalists are gonna complain about how much unemployment money costs. It’s actually better to have lower birthrates for capitalists as well, they only didn’t realize it yet.

    Also, it increases wages because wages are determined through supply and demand of human labor. If there’s less supply, prices for labor (wages) are higher.



  • Company’s aren’t some kind of “world conspiracy”. They don’t work together much besides what they have to to make more money.

    Company A doesn’t care whether company B suffers because people don’t have enough money to buy company B’s products because company A doesn’t pay their employees properly.

    Company A only thinks for itself, and if paying employees less is saving it money, then that’s what it will do.


    Walmarts and such are actually a special case because their employees will typically spend their money back at the very same company. But that’s the exception, not the rule. And also we’re talking about white-collar labor being automated, not so much cashiers and such.
