Less people is good for people, but decreasing people isn't. Japan and Korea are currently suffering from this and it's affecting a lot more than line go up economics.

You don't get to less without decreasing, lol. Less economic growth and a temporary issue with too many old people. That's not a bad trade off for a better future for all.

Yes, which is exactly the problem.

Okay good luck convincing anyone else of that with how things are looking in South Korea.

I don't have to convince anyone, it is happening regardless. Yes, people will bitch and moan, but temporary hardships for the elderly who allowed this to happen is a small price to pay.
