The unintended consequence is genocide. When people need permission to reproduce that introduces a convenient method to keep certain people from having kids.
How is that bad? Less pollution and garbage, no need for as much housing (thus dropping house prices), no need for as many stores, vehicles, resources.
And less shitty parents, less homeless people, less crime. I see that as an absolute win.
Alright, I should have prefaced this with “I assume society is working, there is no racism, corruption, non-cis non-hetero people have sufficient rights, and the government is working as intended.”
The problem is not reducing population, it’s to have our economic system be able to cope with population reduction instead of just collapsing. Do you think we have any hope of changing it for the better?

If she was unable to control them, she should not have gotten permission to own them in the first place.
Definitely think owning dogs should require a license and a test of some sort like driving a vehicle.
Can’t control a 120lb dog? Class B license instead of Class A license.
Only allowed to buy dogs under 100lbs.
Don’t understand how feeding and training works? No license for you.
Licenses for being able to own non-fixed animals as well. Being able to breed dogs and cats needs to come with way more responsibility as well.
Now do kids.

There should be, but I expect the unintended consequence is a severe drop in birth rate.

It TOTALLY won’t be structured in a way to keep people of certain classes unrelated to child rearing ability from essentially reproducing at all.
And this is why we can’t have nice

It was almost 100 years ago, but yeah, everything leads to Hitler eventually.
No… no. Not everything, but rhetoric like in your comment.
You’re literally cheering on eugenics, with a false hope of what it would achieve.

Of course, unfeasible right now.

Let’s hope they figure out how to reduce population gracefully. It’s important to save the planet.

We do by working towards post scarcity and transitioning away from capitalism
And if they try to stop it we force the transitioning
We could also just move to space, we have the tech to start this process
i think murder is already illegal
There is no need, birthrates are already falling.
But the ones breeding shouldn’t be…
Now do whatnow!? Are we still doing phrasing? That still a thing?
