Why? All those kids are going to need something to do after they tear down the education system.
They'll have their hands full extracting the lithium from the dead Tesla batteries.
But their tubby little fingers aren't nimble enough nor can they hold their attention span nor take basic instructions, so they can't be employed for production unlike their healthier and more dutiful same aged Asian counterparts
They won't be making iphones, they will be mining the minerals for them.
Sure, we can tell them it is the new version of Minecraft. /s
"I...am Steve (Jobs)."
Well that I can't believe.
They won't be tubby for long. Food about to get expensive. Timmy about to be on a fucking diet.
Something I've been thinking about is how schools are affected by population decline. Schools take a lot of infrastructure, labor and money. It seems like hardly anyone in my generation is having kids. So what happens to this expensive school system when there's too few students to justify the costs?
Will it simply disintegrate into private schooling like olden times?
Well if it's funded by taxes they can scale down. That's the nice thing about everyone chipping in. If less is needed just take less. It's not like a business that needs to turn a profit.
