    That seems pretty obvious

    What’s less obvious is the decrease in population growth. People are having less kids which means that at some point there will be more older people than younger people and that the infrastructure will be overbuilt.

      It does seem obvious, but you kinda don’t realise it. Seems like I’m not the only one thinking like that.

      I think in practice, the demographic shift is more noticeable than this.
