so, 6 months ago, i have created a topic to tap into the general intelligence of the nationalistic cesspool that this sub is about a hot topic of my pension and why is latvia dying out.

I have been met with fierce resistance in the woods by local Jankas. the downvotes were very real.

now, the time has come for retribution. the "2024 Ageing Report. Economic and Budgetary Projections for the EU Member States (2022-2070)" report is out of the bottle.

with the major juicy bits projecting us being down 600k nationalists by 2070. nationalists would hope it's minus 600k russkis, but let's be real – i ain't going nowhere.

what's your take on this demographical dillema? how many children are you contributing? what's your long term play?

  1. We’re about to welcome our third kid into the world, so I’m chilling.

  2. Kids are expensive, and I can’t break through the poverty ceiling no matter what I do, or how I do it. So, yeah, not much…

  7. No shit Sherlock! We have lived through worse times. So… Eh.

  8. What is our long term plan?

    Probs as always – we improvise, we adapt, we overcome.

  9. Constant growth is advertised by those who cant improve – intellectually dead companies, corrupt oligarchs etc. They either need cheaper workforce or more buyers to stay afloat. But in practice Latvia wouldn’t need more than 10Mil people to sustain itself without compromising quality of life.

    But the demographic panic mostly is talked by those reaping billions, while general public suffers from inflation, housing crisis, congestion of services, roads, decline in food quality. Also reduced opportunity to make difference and express your self.

    With declining population the only important question is minimum number of population required to support a country. And frankly there’s no rule that says it can’t be just one person.

  10. OPam hobijs – [periodiski](https://www.reddit.com/r/latvia/comments/ydcf7d/comment/itvgvio/) ienākt paraudāt šajā subredditā par ļaunajiem “nacionālistiem” latviešiem. Kā redzams – šī tēma nav izņēmums. Ja kāds izmirst – tad tie ir nacionālisti, un “paši vainīgi”. Vai OP ir apsvēris domu apmeklēt kādu psihoterapeitu, ja reiz šī tēma tā traucē dzīvot?
