Ready Player One?
You are 100% spot on.Lol too many dystopian movies mate!
You need to see the big picture first, before you can draw it. The reason is to save the economy of goods and services because we soon won't have a workforce to do it biologically.
EM is planning for population collapse.
That happens shorty after we have a reverse age pyramid.
Now is the "only" time to do it, not when everyone is already pensioned and the young are burdened with giving old people care. The numbers don't work. We need to create artificial care, goods and service capacity if we want to get old enough to reach pension age and beyond. There will be billions of pensioners, and no one to run the economy anymore.
Look at how the pension age is going up, and pensions are going down with inflation. Older people already have to reverse mortgage their home to get equity out to survive and go back to work because the pension isn't enough. Even if they would get paid more fiat, it wouldn't help.
Problem is fiat currency can't force production much longer, because there simply won't be enough younger people to hold up the pyramid and economy. Simply, fiat currency can't make babies for our future workforce.
This is why Optimus is EMs baby for the world.
(Do I sound like a nutter, or is it just too incredulous?)
Ha-ha I do enjoy the dystopian genre. I get the first world population crisis. This gets conflated with world population growth too much though, which is still a problem in my mind.Lol too many dystopian movies mate!

Encourage immigration.
When your arguments are shared by racists and those advocating genocide, you should be ready to re-examine your beliefs and make sure it doesn't come with the same outcome.
People who immigrate tend to be motivated and resourceful. You don’t get from Africa, Asia, the Pacific, or Eastern Europe without some kind of resources and a significant effort. These are the sort of people who built this country and they are some of the most successful people in our country. Elon Musk for example.
I agree. I have met fantastic brilliant people from Nigeria and Mexico. Immigrants. Now if they could have stayed and helped their countrymen would that also have helped solve problems. Taking only the best and brightest doesn't help either it hurts the donor country as well. 2 generations will usually make any nationality soft.
It goes both ways.
Political refugees are a little different than economic refugees. Still people need to fight for their freedom. There are nearly 8 billion people in the world. Probably a third of them of them are under stress at the moment. Should we take in a billion people? We would have the population density of China. No thank you.
