     Government is not the problem, liberalism is. They did not address the root cause of infertility which is feminism.

     @rin @lain >The government also encouraged Singapore men to choose highly educated women as wives, establishing the Social Development Unit (SDU) that year to promote socializing among men and women graduates, a unit that was also nicknamed "Single, Desperate and Ugly".
     
     imagine trying to optimize for intelligence/education in breeding and just getting something called "Single, Desperate and Ugly" :risitas2:

     @lain looking at old ads/public campaigns/policies from countries to discourage childbirth and then looking at what they are doing now is one of my favorite schadenfreude activities

     @zero @lain Government can't figure out "Hey, maybe we should incentivize children and marriage. How do we do that? Oh! We should do a study. And then another study. And still yet another study. That should tell us how to do that." doesn't work. 200 billion later, Koreans now won't fuck to save their own kind.

     200 billion US? thats an insane amount of money to encourage behavior that is generally already ingrained in human psyche.
