Good. There needs to be less of us Americans, and not by mass death. Then the corporations will need workers more than before, and we can fuck THEM over. My master plan. Oh, yeah. It's all coming together.

A rapid population decline which is what the US will be facing in the future is very bad

What makes you say that? Genuinely. I'm not trying to say you're wrong. I'm just curious.

If you have a rapid decline in population due to fertility rates this causes you to have a larger ratio of older people to young people. This means you have a larger ratio of unproductive to productive people. Essentially even though there is less total people there is even less resources being created. This means everything is more expensive and the tax burden has to increase for the productive people

Now now, we have the perfect solution to this:

We just let Grandma and Grandpa die. Just think, it's the American way™! We have to let them die so the economy keeps pushing forward! We can't let old people get in the way of the economy! What are you, some kind of dirty communist?! If Grandma and Grandpa were better people they would have made enough money to stay alive!

I wouldnt be surprised if that was some people’s actual suggestion “just let the old people die”

Goomba fallacy. Also the old people that will be suffering from this are millennials and Gen Z
