America’s population wasn’t expected to start falling until 2081. Trump’s immigration crackdown means it could happen as soon as this year.

    Which is why they’re cracking down on women’s right to choose, because the billionaires still need a new young workforce to exploit

        Which is pretty funny to me, because the majority of the hard workers you see out there building the world we live in–they ain’t white. I have a feeling we’re in for a heavily enshittified existence if low-skill white boys are gonna be building all our houses and maintaining our infrastructure. I’m even saying this as a white skilled tradesman. Most of the other guys doing good work in the field would be deported if the Cheetophile had his way.

    Yeah but remember, in MAGA math, the population is growing because they’re removing all those non-white people that count as negative humans.

    Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

    Are YOU.


    Why are the billionaires so worried about population decline? They’re building robots to take over our jobs, so they don’t need to pay us or put up with all the pesky things, like time off, unions, rights, healthcare, etc. They’re building the slaves they can’t turn us into. They’re building bunkers on islands to hide from us when we finally come for their heads. We can’t have affordable healthcare. Plus everything else they do that shows nothing but contempt or hate for us.

    So, why do they care if we die off? It’s not like they need 8 billion of us, or even 8 million. They’d be fine with just enough slaves to do what the robots can’t, until they can’t.

    Is it possible they need us more than we need them?
