The collapse of reproduction rates in Western societies gives rise to a whole range of consequences, symptoms, causes and forecasts. Let us concentrate on two things in the German case: firstly, it is remarkable that the slowly recovering birth rate collapsed completely with the clown flu. It can therefore be said that the encroaching policy of lockdowns and media psycho-terror has had a psychological knock-on effect, causing people to lose hope for the future, planning horizons and psycho-political certainties. Well done, you communists!
And secondly, it will be interesting to see how long German politicians can maintain the massive expansion of their overpriced welfare state in the face of the demographic cliff that is now coming to a head. In a few years, 1.3 employees will have to finance one pensioner. Added to this are over 50 billion euros in annual benefits for illegal refugees. And the trend is rising here too. But the Germans wouldn't be the Germans if they didn't already have their solutions ready with the precise engineering skills of typical welfare state engineers: special budgets and creative accounting that help to obscure the view of reality and allow the slowly decaying welfare state carcass to stagger around a little longer. Please, dear Federal Reserve: hike the rates to kill the European Commie Money Printer as fast as possible to save what's left of this former prosperous society!
One more comment: of course the mainstream media directly link the growing reluctance to have children to the hallucinated climate change. It's simply hilarious!
