    Again, no. Most people produce more value than they need to last their lifetime, but most of that is stolen by billionaires.

    We need a fair society and we wouldn’t don’t need children to pay for old folks’ pensions. We already produce way more than we can consume in a single lifetime.

      You aren’t listening. The labour needs to be done. Who cares about money? When you are 80 yrs old, who will be your doctor? Who will work the fields for your food? Who will provide you any services? Any products? Anything?

      You will need young people and they don’t come from nowhere.

      Agree, the children’s utility to society isn’t about money. It’s about having doctors and firemen and farmers and artists. Idc how much money you have, if the next generation is smaller, who will be the CNAs in the retirement home where the childless (and others) are spending their pensions?
