[QUOTE="GGWP, post: 46325, member: 93"] We're already seeing the effects of demographic collapse on the economy with a trend toward steady-state zero growth societies. Almost everything is affected by the variables in this graph and we're seeing the effects from shrinkflation to migration to recession, all the way to cultural shifts and environmental instability.
