Please. The only thing "weakening the economy" is central banks issuing fiat money with zero regard for actual production, and their government and big corporate lackeys that do everything they can to suppress free markets, individual achievement and innovation.
They're issuing fiat money while destroying production, specifically.
Did you read the article? Companies were forced to leave salaries unchanged in spite of the reduced productivity.
Sounds Great either way. The economies must shrink, the kids will thank us in 20 years.
Are you sure there will be kids around in 20 years.
They cut it by only four hours a week! That’s not going to ruin much. Besides the article said „productivity and service provision remained the same or improved“.
Good point. Any kids that somehow make it out most likely will be autistic or disabled.
So we shrink the economy to please people who won't exist in the near future. Super very good project indeed.
Don't exist? "Those living today"? Is that a Hard sentence ? People grow..
So what does "shrink the economy" mean? Working less hours? Sounds good. Having marginally less crap? Good. Having less unemployment? Great. Better public health?
People have trouble reproducing under stress and the financial enslavement will do that. Remove the idiotic economic system and its lies and native population will have no problem reproducing at healthy rates
I'm all for ending globalism and a healthy economic system but not having children, abortions and contraceptives are more a lifestyle choice and not economic hardship. I also think there're ups and downs in demographics and some decline is not the end of the world but the on going demographic decline in the west is problematic plus the current demographic explosion in Africa and Muslim countries.
Nobody is killing off kids to reduce the economy. How would you even relate that to anything here?
I don't doubt that, but this was a small-scale experiment and both parties had an interest in making it work. And even then, I was just pointing out that long-term, large-scale implementation could have very different consequences.
It's not that simple though. In an increasingly regulated job market, companies will find it less and less profitable to create and keep jobs and might ultimately leave the country altogether. There's a reason why this experiment was conducted by state companies: only they can afford to. As the economy shrinks however, not even state companies will be able to keep the experiment going. The state will have to raise taxes and the people will be left worse off...
I don't know where you live but in the west there's a clear anti natalist agenda that wants to reduce procreation of western people. There is non stop propaganda for contraceptives and against family. There's also a reduce the economy (make it a green economy) agenda.
