Americans must admit that the endpoint of wealth is to have kids at lower than the population replacement rate. The only way the rich can get richer, anthropologically, is expanding market participants through a steady influx of poor people who DO reproduce above their replacement rate. Anthropologists widely document that the value proposition of childbirth (often related factors like elder care, manual labor, and population survival) is inverse to wealth. This is why Japan and South Korea are desperate for poorer immigrants. Their population is prosperous. This is also why Germany, France, the U.K. and the U.S. have needed poor immigration to expand wealth, contrary to public xenophobia or leader invocations of “sh**hole countries.” Rich residents opposing low-income housing are self-defeating. Developed countries technocratically impoverishing poor ones through currency manipulation, then titrating poverty immigration, is the only way to maintain wealth and capitalist “growth”mythology.

“People make fewer kids as they get rich which shrinks society, so the world is a giant poor-breeding plantation to supply just enough immigration to rich places so the fake simulation of endless economic growth doesn’t break from population shrinkage” Is that clearer? 🤪
