It’s a complex subject that deserves legitimate scientific study. There are known detrimental effects of low fertility rates in a country, but they often take a long time to manifest. However, there are also many examples of horrific consequences of governments trying to affect fertility rate.
For sure. Somehow Nestle still pisses me off more though. Corporations that get too powerful are the real danger to us today in my opinion. But they draw a lot of parallels with the old corrupt communist regimes.
…It’s a really super basic entry level concept in understanding demographics and populations, plus economics, human geography, migration trends, society in general, etc. There’s nothing dystopian about it. (Arguably, the fact that people instantly think such studies are dystopic is itself dystopic.)
It’s fucked that there’s even a “replacement level” in the first place
That’s so fucking dystopian

if you can have a baby by buying bottom shelve food products for the last week of a month, what happens if you get twins
I have A Modest Proposal which may help with both problems at once.
I’m trying to think of a real world example of government breeding growth that’s gone wrong, but I can’t think of any.
There’s plenty of examples of breeding control that have gone horrific of course. I just can’t think of the opposite example.
Take a look at the Wikipedia header on National efforts to increase or decrease fertility.
That Wikipedia article link reminds me of the fucked up thing nestle did with baby formula

The US seems to be trying a bad option. Rather than offer actual support, they are trying to force it through the guise of morality
The phrase “breeding control” makes me so fucking uncomfortable

it’s pretty simple actually, 2.1, a pair to make baby + 0.1 for unforeseen circumstance
