this may be blindingly obvious, but why do we care if the population drops

i know it's a non-problem anyway and most often a dogwhistle, but what's the rationale

like you'd need a pretty massive shift in population for your workforce to be too elderly to keep up, i think

i dunno, you grow up catholic you hear a lot of that "go forth and populate, never mind the obvious benefits from a kingly perspective, spread empire"

but it seems like an obsolete concern
