...some of the most populous and fertile wanna go the other way.

And Indonesia a religious somewhat devout Muslim nation commonly associated with high fertility rates.

We should aid & encourage them as much as possible.

Set an example for the overly fertile countries who can't afford it and keep flooding into places like the US

Why the fuk does everyone whine about 'man made climate change' and then whine about people not breeding? I mean like wouldn't that be a good thing? Holy fuk you should see all the massive apartment complexes going up all over the fukin place here, traffic is more clogged up than Oaks toilet, I go to the store and stand in lines that weren't there before and there's a billion fukin weirdos wandering around on the street.

The last thing the planet needs is more fukin people.

A larger workforce is only advantageous once a country reaches a certain level of development. Always at that stage, the ferility rate is lwo. It is a natural progession. The developing world has surplus workers.
