More people declining to get married and/or procreate is the problem the government should watch out for. And instead of banning sexbots, they should make having a child easier. Make it so low and middle income people in their early twenties can buy a house. Make it so women can take maternity leave without setting their career back years. Make it so father/non-carrier parents get parental leave at all. Make it so a sick kid doesn’t destroy a family’s finances forever. Make it so women have adequate protection pre and post sexual interaction so that the risks of getting it on are not as high.
AI sex bots are far from the most impactful thing driving people away from having kids.
One of my friends wanted kids. She has a full time job in software and does side gigs like bartending. Can’t afford kids, so she didn’t have any. It’s sad.
Meanwhile the ultra wealthy have more money than they can spend.
Nationalize health care. Basic income. Public housing. Enforce existing tax laws. Tax or prohibit bullshit like “I’ll get a loan against my assets but that’s not technically income so I don’t pay anything”. Break up monopolies.
