Depopulation isn’t a big of a problem for the wealthy as it is for the working class. I don’t know about the US, but in countries like Italy where retirement pensions are paid by the state through taxation of workers wages, depopulation is the biggest threat possibile.

This kind of system requires workers to be more than retired people. Every year some people retire and if new borns aren’t enough to fill that gap, we get a situation in which retired people are more than the workers. This means less wages to tax, that leads to low pensions for who’s already retired and also people who are still working will be able to retire much later and with even lower pensions.

This scenario is catastrophic for young people like me and I think other european countries are facing this very same problem. The next decade will be tough to say the least…

The more we progress the more society looks like a cyber dystopia:

• mega corporation that holds all the power
• people that seek company in artificial intelligence instead of real people
• immense concentration of wealth
• politicians that straight up lie to defend their financiers without facing any consequence
• cities more and more crowded with increasing houseless population
• nature destroyed and made unliveable by industrial disasters

To be fair, neither Reddit was intuitive when I first started using it.

the market was left to decide how to deploy labor, technology and capital in the belief that efficiency and growth would automatically follow

This idea that the invisible hand of the market would have allocated resources in the most efficient way is the biggest lie ever told to the people.

I really hope the whole idea of globalization dies and nations start to bring back labour previously exported elsewhere. The funny part is that we knew this would have happened, but nobody cared to changed the system.
