Maybe we shouldn't subsidize the breeding of people who couldn't make it on their own then.

completly agree. When certain people, and genetics should have been weeded out by natural selection we defy natures law and expend resources to carry these types along

The sad thing is, the people on this earth with higher education and income, are having fewer kids. And the majority of the population growth in the next 30 years will come from illiterate subsistence farmers in India and Africa.

And this, coming into a world where manual labor is being replaced by robots. There will be basically no jobs for about half of the next 2 billion people born.

That's 1 billion Muslims, Africans, and poor Indians that will have no role in the world, and will lack the physical environment and resources to provide for themselves.

Yeah. That's gonna turn out well.

I'm not sure if you're talking about globally or here in the US, but I've got a feeling it's the latter. Fwiw, the United States currently reproduces at a rate below the replacement rate. In other words, our population will begin to shrink if left alone.

ETA I see this has been covered numerous times since the post to which I replied.
