The population of kids is shrinking in ways that are like, that is actually noticeable.

I mean, there's reports of hundreds and even thousands of schools just completely having to shut down, you know, tiny numbers of kids in classes.

I saw a headline the other day about a primary school that opened with one first grader, Rose.

Oh, wow.

One first grader.

Can you imagine being the only first grader in your class?

That's so sad.

There's reports of them turning the schools into other things, like old folks' homes.

Well, that's telling.

Yeah.

And Jisoo said that she has noticed this out in the world.

Is it like you're birdwatching and you're like, look, it's a one-year-old.

Yeah, and the other thing about this is it can build on itself.

So if you're thinking, oh, like, maybe I do want to have a kid, and you look around and you're like, oh, there's no school.

Right.

There's no pediatrician.

There's no other kids on the playground.

There's no infrastructure in place.

Right.

So that's a thing, too.
