    We already don’t care for our aging population well at all. Reducing population requires way more planning and resources than you think. Nations that are actually losing population are really struggling with this reality.

      I agree, they are struggling under capitalism. But a shrinking population doesn’t necessitate suffering. At least not any more, where we could provide for our elderly with great efficiency if we were inclined to do so. It would not turn a profit, but some things are important in life.
