correct. were coming up on a time when automation and fusion power will mean that there wont be a need for as many workers to generate all the goods and services. that means we wont need a large population to create economic strength. a large population will cause actually be a destabilizing factor on society because of unemployment.  theyre using outdated economic models from the 1950s where economic strength is from number of workers. currently, automation, intellectual property, and energy production are the major determining factors.  its not about workers now, its brains and machines.
