Kill All The Workers - part the second

In episode 1 was discussed the Wet Dream Supreme of the capitalist class wrt AI: send labour productivity through the roof, and keep all the attendant growth to themselves. None for the working classes.

Now comes new reporting on the declining birthrate. Ya know, The Musk Ox's present diatribe. Turns out, according to the report, that it's the dirty Redneck women who are opting out. All those college educated wimins keep popping them out. Who wooda thunk it? Anyone with a brain. Across the board, the main reason to have fewer (or no) little brats is the cost (short and long term). Ya cain't afford a Benz? May be ya cain't afford a drooler.
[R]esearchers found that teenagers and white women ages 20 to 24 without a bachelor's degree accounted for over half of the drop. College-educated women accounted for another 18 percent.
BTW, the same aspect is true of abortion: it's mostly married wimins with more than enough brats to suit them, thank you very much.
"One of the main reasons people report wanting to have an abortion is so they can be a better parent to the kids they already have," Professor Upadhyay says.
What's especially stupid about The Musk Ox and his ilk: they are all foaming at the mouth to get the bestest worker killing AI that there is. Of course, that only works for one, or may be two, such. At scale, The Musk Ox and his ilk will kill the economy. Eccles was right. What Eccles didn't forsee is a top heavy service economy which caters to the 1%. Much less an economy that does nothing else. Who needs a proletariat?

Such an economy, and its adherents, ought to thank all those young lower class wimins for doing the hard part: reducing the number of future idlers and welfare queens. I mean, if the under class DID keep breeding like rabbits, and still got Uncle Sugar's support and Medicaid and the like, the Right Wingnut Stasi would have much larger kill quotas each year. I mean, does the United States of Alabama really need more banjo picking albinos?
