Why are the billionaires so worried about population decline? They're building robots to take over our jobs, so they don't need to pay us or put up with all the pesky things, like time off, unions, rights, healthcare, etc. They're building the slaves they can't turn us into. They're building bunkers on islands to hide from us when we finally come for their heads. We can't have affordable healthcare. Plus everything else they do that shows nothing but contempt or hate for us.
So, why do they care if we die off? It's not like they need 8 billion of us, or even 8 million. They'd be fine with just enough slaves to do what the robots can't, until they can't.
Is it possible they need us more than we need them?
It is still cheaper
The billionaires aren't building anything. They are paying other people the minimum they get away with to do things for them. That's why they need other people; not a single one of them knows basic stuff like how to hold a screwdriver.
BINGO, in fact their businesses fail, but they get government money to increase their wealths. The riches man in the world has huge contacts with The USA government & it’s tax payers’ money.
