(279 posts)that is alarmed over the declining birth rates (especially for whites). He wants more babies, he says to save humanity and repopulate when we get to Mars, but I really think it is the only way the rich stay rich is to have plenty of rubes and unwashed masses to supply all of the elites needs: to pay the taxes, consume the goods that circulate the economy, and fight our wars. So if we depopulate, then every human increases their own individual worth as far as human capital value. Overpopulation (like we have now) leads to scarcity and desperation and less money and resources for the majority. Desperate people will be less willing to fight in a union but more likely to fight in the military or take what ever low wage/no benefit job they are lucky to get.
Less population leads to every human being being needed so they have choices. That is a huge threat to the elite.
What Billionaire elites want is to be picky about who survives and who doesnt. So have lots of babies and theyll get their pick of the litter boxes on those that will be productive and cast off those lesser that negatively cost society.
