Why don't they just use vending machines??? Japan uses vending machines for everything! The lonely guy goes to a vending machine. He buys 1 girlfriend, and now a little ball comes out with the lonely womans phone number in his area!
.........what? Did you think I was suggesting a vending machine full of women? That would never work....
If the government wants more babies surely it would be more effective to invest in childcare and a mandatory reduction of working hours to something more manageable?

They've passed laws against overwork as well.
10 hours per month? It's a start at least.
at least in the government app you know they will not use dark patterns to make you feel miserable unless you pay. anybody that has paid for these apps know it is night and day, you get 2 matches in a week if you dont pay, or 100 in a hour if you pay
