Births been declining every year.
This happens when people can't afford families. Why can't they afford them? Wages stagnate as corporations declare record profits.
People been protesting about this for awhile and nothing has been done to fix it. (occupy wallstreet etc)

As it turns out, we know what happens when births keep declining. Society begins to break apart as the economy is producing things not bought by everyone (less buyers) and the elderly people don't have enough people to care for them.

Ofc, the super-rich will still be fine. But you probably won't, even if you consider yourself above upper middle-class.

Now to address my thread title.
Shilling for billionaires means the problem won't be corrected as it has not for many years. So, if you do that, you are kinda part of the problem.

Thing is, even if you become upper middle class, you likely will not have a very good old age experience since the declining births means the help you will need will be unaffordable even for you.

So, idk do you plan on dying before age 60 even if you are wealthy? Probably not.

Then even bootstraps cannot fix the problem for you. You will need to become a multimillionaire as well so you can pay the expensive fees or buy a helper robot.

Do you realize how happy you should be that a billionaire is paying you to rebuild your old ass bridge?

In my country we just let them collapse on the cars sitting in traffic.

Everything you love was always woke, and its less woke than it used to be, and that's why its not as good anymore, because its less woke. Also you suck.
