Why do these writers want populations to keep getting bigger and bigger?

Look at how crowded certain cities are.

It's almost as if a couple good years economically doesn't erase the pain of crushing college debt and other issues.

The only reason a labor shortage is being spun as a bad thing is it means people will need to pay more for labor.

This is fine. Just look at all the people screaming about automation. A decreased population size just might result in those people being individually more prosperous, and guess what happens next? They have more kids than the previous generation. Its fine.

Actually the old people are worried they won't have enough people wanting to change their diapers in retirement homes.
Since there is less job competition due to labor shortage, people normally forced to degrade themselves for that min wage could get a nice office position instead.

The US is overpopulated, the US only needs around 150-200 million people, let it go down naturally so nutjobs don't implement plans like mass sterilizations.

Mother: Why don't you make some grandkids?

This generation: Can't afford one. Maybe if you didn't ruin the economy.

It's the future they choose. We're just waiting for the exact moment it bites them hardest.
