    ironically enough, a falling birthrate will mean that the welfare system will do better, because there will be less need to pay out unemployment money to the unemployed working-age people on top of the retirement money for old people.

        the old people don’t need money, they need resources. and who produces the resources? companies, with the help of workers. so if there’s an unemployment phenomenon, that means that enough resources are already being produced, apparently.
