Well, I have no idea what the posters actual intention was, but there is a difference between an idea being the only thing that will work, and the idea being a good one. There are plenty of problems around where the solution is bad enough that it brings into question if you are even solving the right issue.
 
I view the birth rate issue this way.. I suspect the person is not that far off, and while you can mitigate the falling birthrates through various incentives and supports, the big driver really is that as women gain equality and their own lives, they make the same decision men likely would in their position and now want to have children.
 
But I think the solution is really going to have to involve coming up with a political and economic system that does not depend on constant growth.

Every time they push just a bit more to see what they can get away with. Conservatives and libertarians have been wanting to do away with that pesky democracy and its anti-god communist implications since the evangelical takeover in the reagan years. So yeah... people have been warning for decades, but we keep getting closer.

Which makes me wonder if this was some kind of inside job. Faking both sides of a conversation to steal a one time payment for a project a small town and a contractor? This isn't 'send out a million emails and see who bites' type scam, they had to know about both parties and that a larger transfer was going to happen soon.

Their whole ethical system is built around the idea of a natural order and actor (rather than action) based morality. This person acted above their station and did things that people of their place in the world are not supposed to do. In a way, he stole from trump and his community by taking their natural right for their own.
