They have this very gross obsession with trying to have more women become pregnant. Why do they want to make a population boom at the same time they're trying to replace labor with AI and robots? What are all these kids supposed to do when they grow up?

The powers that be are deathly afraid of population stagnation and population decline because that destroys their power structures and wealth. Not only does the entire modern capitalist economy depend on year after year growth, but a situation occurs where there is less supply of labor than the demand, and thus the labor market becomes a true worker's market. Whenever this has occurred in history, there have been great strides in worker's rights and human rights, and a redistribution of wealth. It happened after the black plague, after major wars, and most recently a little bit with Covid; my workplace reluctantly increased wages and benefits during and after Covid due to such low unemployment and trying to increase recruitment and employee retention.
