An outsourcing that would be great for the economy
No way we could ever do it but


Outsource child raising. Allow immigration at age 25 to provide for repopulation instead. Think about it, no education cost, no medical cost for children, no lost labor to birth or family activity.

3. It's not that stupid, moneywise. Why pay for children when other countries will do it for us?

4. Now there is a premise for some short fiction
but in real life, where I live... there are more holes than you want to count. And I will not bother with pointing them out... but for fiction... yep... that is a good premise for a DYSTOPIA.

5. So forced sterilizations at what age?
The only way to not raise them is to not have them. So what is your plan?

6. No plan, it would be impossible and wrong because people are free to
have and raise them if they want. I'm just saying it would be a great thing for our economy.

Geese laying golden eggs for us, which would also be great for our economy and also impossible, yet has a whimsical feel that is lacking in the 'no children' scenario.

9. That brings us back to the first question then. How is it physically
possible? What is the plan you suggest? How do you see enforcing this? If you say it is more possible than the Goose Laying the Golden Egg, tell me how it is possible. You can not avoid the mechanics that make your concept 'physically possible', a statement I doubt anyway. No births. I say The Goose is more possible.

10. You think it is not possible for people to not produce children

Wow, just wow. You have never met anyone in your life that did not have children? Really? You do not think that is posiable? Honestly, OH MY GOD

12. We are not talking about 'anyone' but everyone. You know that.
Do you really think it is possible for NO ONE to have a child, in the entire nation, for a long and sustained period? Because that is what we are talking about, not 'anyone that did not have children' and you are being rude because you do not want to answer the question you have been asked, about your own proposition.
What a moving of the goal posts. From 'national zero birth rate' to 'a person not having a child'. Foolish. You should be able to do better than that if you are going to propose shit like this.
So. Infanticide or forced abortion? Sterilization? What's the mechanics of the 'possible' zero birth rate? You say it is possible. How?
