    I don’t understand the fear of population decline. We grow and grow until…?

    Less people is better for the planet. But less people means not enough people to support the layer of pyramid above it.

      That’s it isn’t it?

      Who’s going to pay for those millions of vacant apartments, and who’s going to support the elderly if there’s not enough people?

      Like it or not, there will be a disruption from it if its too sudden, but I don’t see it as the dire thing that he seems to think it is. It’ll eventually sort itself out and we’ll be better for it.
