The thing is you can’t treat starvation with medicine or hospital beds. The only thing that actually improves the situation is to supply food, lots of food.
The only true solution to this problem is that the so-called developed world starts dispatching lots and lots and lots of food to Gaza right now.
thanks, very well put. I’m not from India, but this explanation makes sense to me.

more active workers than retirees.
Well, no, that’s actually incorrect. You only need enough productive output to sustain a social welfare system; if people’s productivity would increase to 10,000%, then 1% active workforce in the population could sustain up to 70% elderly people (assuming another 29% younger unproductive people).
It’s just that society chooses to skim off that additional wealth to some rich parasitical class.
Fear of decline
Edit: after reading the article, it’s about something else. Indian parlamentary seats depend on share of population, not on economic strengths, so some states worry to lose out.
Edit again: Well, no, my first instinct was right. The article is full of stupid people spitting hate at women for choosing to have fewer children. The article also seems to mostly think of offspring as future workforce, in other words slaves to the economy. The human population has been less than 1/1000 of what it currently is just a few thousand years ago (as can be seen in this diagram) and humanity prospered. I don’t see the problem.
If I may add, to some people, connecting to nature is their “real life”, while building empires and going on adventurous journeys is but a struggle they have to endure.
don’t worry, you’re doing fine
tbh europe should have always been independent so i guess that’s a good thing, in some sense.
