Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

A lot of the countries with birth-rates below replacement rates have known about this since the 1980s. They're just starting to panic because their tax authorities are showing them the ugly, Excel forecast charts. They could have averted all this back then, but chose to ignore the warning signs.
Now, the only option is to open up to foreign immigration, or societally encourage Senicide (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senicide) to reduce demand 🤮
Soon, those options will be gone too. The politicians will be stuck between domestic xenophobia and that young, productive immigrants will have better options.

I really, really hate doing "boomer generalization". No generational war, no war but the class war. There's plenty of working-class boomers out there who have been fucked over just as bad as the rest of society.
But I think it's pretty clear by now that boomers in decision-making roles have generally put zero thought into succession planning. Both on an individual basis, and on a society-wide basis. No training of their own replacements, no thought given to demographic trends that would result from their decisions, just total denial of their own mortality.
