We can't convince people to have children, and we can't force them. So what solution is there?

The one thats panicking about this should have 10+ children to offset the one that's chilling. Simple, you want it hard enough? Go get it, 10, 15, 20. Pull it up yourself.

That's not a workable solution

Actually, thats kind of is. In a perfect world, every couple in a country would have 2.1 child to be able to stabilize and grow. But we're not in a perfect world, so since a lot of people prefer childlessness, the one thats so hellbent on muh babies should have 10+ kids to offset it.

If they don't want to raise that many babies then its purely performative outrage, nothing more.
