Why stop population decline?

Let’s just take it easy.

Indeed. There are too many humans by at least one order of magnitude. The only reason we need population growth is to perpetuate the capitalistic ponzi scheme government and corporations are running.

Because the age imbalance will be fundamentally crippling to everything we understand about economics. Basically the only young people left in 50 years will be working only to sustain the older population, or old people will be forced to work until they’re much much older.
