The most insane thing about the population collapse is, that most people care only because our retirement system isn't ready for it.
That's really it? Is that why you care?
@Jens_Rasmussen
I don't get your question. What will bounce back? The population or the retirement system?
Well, my point is, that we don't value the life itself. Neither as an experience, nor as an entity worth protecting. These people literally see a livetime production dollar amount. That is not what should be protected. That is not what it means to be alive.

I hate that they chose to betray their nation just because it was easy.
90% of those people were in a literal comatose state with eyes open, most of them couldn't even talk.

I heard, that in some civilizations, it used to be an honor to leave by your own hand, once you were no longer able to live on your own properly.
And at this point, I believe that might actually be the only solution. Because we are getting trapped into a technologivcally enabled insanity.
Each advancement of medical science enables us to give old people more time alive at an ever increasing cost. Yes, the healthcare of young does become better too, but if we manage to unlock 2 more years for a million, all it does is increase the ammount of people who need that million dollar healthcare.... only so they ask for 2 more years for 5 mil.
It is an eternal cycle of more people needing more money for worse few years of life.
As for something other than money being protected; everyone understands that being in a healthy economy rather than a broke one is conductive to a life that makes you enjoy being alive.
On the other hand; not much is being done to fix the population issue exactly because people's freedom is being respected.
Our incompetent leaders still have to figure out a solution to the problem though, and replacement migration seems to be their chosen one.
