They dismiss solutions such as more housing or more money as “unrealistic.” And just because a policy is pro-family — universal day care, for example, or extended parental leave — doesn’t necessarily mean it will encourage people to have more children, they say.

Instead, they’re pushing for deregulating the day-care industry (“We have data on this,” Malcolm said, sharing a Substack link) and removing car-seat mandates (another Substack link). Requiring parents to have car seats discourages people from having big families, because you can only fit in so many seats, he argued. “In a number of states, you need to be in a car seat until you’re, like, 16, right?”

There have been multiple articles about these people in particular, they talk about having superior genes that need to be spread but both of them wear glasses, the woman is neuro divergent and they admit she needs a small team around her to be productive.

having superior genes that need to be spread

No, they literally believe that wealthiness is genetically hereditary, and that by using nominative determinism to name their children they'll set them up for success as entrepreneurs and future tycoons. These people are a special kind of moron.

That always makes me chuckle, the eugenicists of the modern day also shed crocodile tears over “muh population decline”.

Although I’m guessing they want even “untersmench” to reproduce as a type of slave race for them. While they’re out there from cradle to grave in a big never ending party, I’m stuck doing all the shit jobs until I keel over.

I mean these ideas kind of check out. Raise child mortality rates, and people will have to have more to replace them. More births for the birth god!

"Hæs we need to increase the birthrate"

"This vexes me."

"The proportion,, of elderly to working age people is increasingly increasing......"

"That's bad."

"We also have one of the highest child mortality rates of the global north,,, due to poor regulations and for-profit healthcare......"

"We need a new mode of production. Also, I have not spoken in a while."

"no. new mode of production will destroy society. it needs child deaths to live."

"......I forbid this!"

"don't care. more child deaths!!"

"Everything's fixed,,, fertility is back to replacement level...... thank you doctor!"

I feel so bad for these children. I know there's a good chance they'll grow up to be freaks themselves, but still, talk about being dealt a bad hand
