Historically large declines in population that were not caused by war always elevated the very poorest people after they stopped.
Whether it be the plague or the flu around the turn of the century always the poorest benefitted and those with power did not.
I do not fear the economy going down hill because of population decrease,
I fear we won’t have the motivation or will to take care of each other and become more social while it goes on.
I fear what those with influence will do when their influence becomes irrelevant.
