People are always born with the same age namely 0, but they do not all die at the same age. In fact getting older increases chances of death. Hence 2 babies per mother ends up in a pyramid too.

Even if you presume people all die at the same age, things will be stable. If say people all get childten at 30 and only work between 30-60 and then all die at 90. If we then assume 1 child per couple and everybody has a child at 30, we would get a stable dependency ratio of 2.5 dependents per worker. Obviously those numbers are not realistic. Btw that also is not a pyramid, but a trapezoid.

It is not an inverse pyramid though. The older humans are the more likely they die. So you always and up with a pyramide at the top, at least somewhat. With low birth rates a society has to care for fewer children. That results in an actually fairly stable ratio of working age population to dependents.

A shrinking population also means build infrastructure is already built. They just have to keep things running.

They currently elect leaders to a board of directors using what seems like a more complex system to allow for different groups to have a say in it.

Intresstingly countries like Italy, UK, France and Spain have stronger regional inequality divides then Germany.

Power to control women and force them to have sex with you. A bit like rape, but less crude.

Coral up!

Every $1 invested in resilient infrastructure yields a $4 return in avoided recovery costs, according to case studies published by the World Bank and the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure. FEMA estimates those cost savings can be even higher in the U. S. – and suggests federally funded climate mitigation grants “can save the nation $6 in future disaster costs for every $1 spent on hazard mitigation.”

Just saying.

Also cities change a lot. Only 35% of owner occupied housing in the US is older then 1969. Construction in the US is also an over $2trillion industry, so just changing new construction is a trillion dollar project.

That is not the only part of it. Most wars of agression are fought using fossil fuel money and often for fossil fuels. Ukraine, Sudan, Yemen come to mind. Going green makes the world more peaceful.

To be fair so has the downfall of western society.

Hitler got lucky. He got into power when the great depression was ending. So the German economy grew fast. Then he very quickly took Poland and even more importantly France. Then during the war, the Nazis made sure to compensate Germans for bombing losses with looted goods.

Trump came into office and crashed the economy.
