You really can't make this stuff up. Just when you think the people running the world can't get any more out of touch regarding the **South Korea birth rate crisis**, they go and prove you wrong. They don't just prove you wrong; they smash your expectations into the dirt. This time, we are looking at South Korea. Specifically, a guy named **Kim Hee-soo**, the head of **Jindo county**. He looked at a serious problem—a massive **demographic cliff**—and came up with the worst possible solution.

The problem is simple. Not enough babies are being born. This is happening everywhere, but the **South Korea population decline** is particularly brutal. People are tired, broke, and stressed. Who wants to bring a kid into a world where rent takes half your paycheck and the leaders are all clowns? So, birth rates are dropping. In rural places, it is even worse. Young people leave for the cities. The men left behind are lonely. The towns are dying.

So, what is Kim’s big idea? Did he suggest making life better? Did he suggest paying people more? Did he suggest fixing the schools or the hospitals? No. That would make too much sense. That would require actual work. Instead, he looked at a map and treated human beings like spare parts for a broken car.

He suggested **"importing" young women**. Yes, he used that word. Importing. Like they are bananas. Like they are cheap plastic toys you buy online. Specifically, he pointed to women from Vietnam or Sri Lanka. He thinks you can just ship them over to marry the lonely men in his county. He thinks this will magically fix the population crisis.

Let’s stop and think about the brain of a man who talks like this. He does not see people. He sees numbers on a spreadsheet. He sees a column that says "Men" and it is full. He sees a column that says "Women" and it is empty. So, like a store manager ordering more soda for the shelves, he says, "Get me more women from the warehouse." It is gross. It is cold. It is exactly how politicians view us. We are not humans with dreams and feelings. We are just livestock to them. If the herd gets too small, they just want to buy more stock.

This is the mindset of the elite class everywhere. It doesn't matter if it's the Left or the Right. They all do it. They think they can move people around like chess pieces to get the result they want. They don't care about the women from Vietnam or Sri Lanka. Do they ask what those women want? Do they wonder if maybe those women have dreams that don't involve being shipped to a rural county to be a broodmare for a stranger? Of course not. To **Kim Hee-soo**, they are just a resource. They are a commodity.

And let's look at the men he is trying to "help." It is insulting to them, too. He is basically saying these guys are so hopeless that the government needs to buy them wives. It turns marriage into a transaction. It turns love into a government program. It is pathetic. If you have to import a spouse because your society is too broken to form natural relationships, you have already lost. The game is over.

The backlash was instant, obviously. People were angry. Civic groups yelled. They called it what it is: treating humans like objects. Kim tried to apologize, sort of. He said he didn't mean to hurt feelings. But he said the words. You can't un-say that. The mask slipped. We saw what he really thinks.

This is why I don't trust any of them. They panic when the birth rate drops because they need future taxpayers. They need future workers to grind in the gears of the economy. They don't want babies because babies are cute. They want babies because babies grow up to pay debts. And when the locals stop producing enough future taxpayers, the leaders panic. They look for the quickest, cheapest fix. "Importing" moms is the desperate move of a system that knows it is failing.

Don't expect this to get better. As the world gets harder and more expensive, these guys will get crazier. They will come up with even dumber ideas. They will try anything except fixing the actual problems. They will treat us like cargo until the very end. Kim Hee-soo is not an accident. He is a symptom. He is what happens when you let bureaucrats play god with human lives. It is stupid, it is cruel, and it is exactly what we should expect from the people in charge.
