Oh boy, you guys are gonna love the global pension fund crash then!

Which shouldn't be a problem, but with how abjectly you guys reject AI and automation, it is gonna be a problem

Valuing children only for the monetary value they will contribute is a very good way of producing unhappy children which in my view is pretty immoral. It's also pretty close to viewing humans as capital and that's problematic in it's own right
