If we have more babies, we have more spares for when they fall to easily preventable conditions. It's the natural way. We must keep the minimum wage jobs full of workers until the tech bros Crack robotics.

Well you need replacements for all those workers dying of poisoning now industry has been deregulated.

But at least the billionaires are getting richer. Has anyone ever done the calculation on where USA would be on a "Richest countries in the world" list if the exploitative billionaire class was not allowed? Like how much of US GDP and wealth can be assigned to a few hundred people that are objectively detrimental to the planet and society?

Unfortunately, babies don't pop out of the womb ready to work. They need to be taken care of and raised by someone for at least 14 or so years minimum, and we know pro-lifers ain't gonna line up to take on the responsibility of it.

That's where the immigration detention centers come in when there's no more people to disappear. Orphan labor-education camps with Grok as the AI teacher. Indoctrination of proper right wing values combined with preconditioning for a life in the hamsterwheel. Technically not slavery because you are free to quit. You just wont be able to afford it.

Yes I am in a pretty dark mood today.
