If people live better lives because of a compressing demographic pyramid (causing scarce labor to drive up wages and people not having unintended or unwanted children that would’ve otherwise become future underpaid and unappreciated labor), let the economy get wrecked. “Starve the beast.” It’s certainly not doing anyone who isn’t exposed to investment vehicles any favors (see down thread convo about stagnant economics in developed nations [1]).
