Energy saving and intimacy

From Koran Tempo

The government's appeal for people to save energy to overcome the present fuel crisis will be supported by the public, as long as government officials set a good example.

But there is one thing that could pose a problem in the future. With the limitation on TV broadcast hours starting July 12, people can no longer enjoy cheap entertainment from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. They will have to seek alternative forms of entertainment, including "intimacy".

If these measures last for the next six months, within about two years the country will see a population explosion, in view of the low rate of contraceptive use.

Although this is only a prediction, it would be worthwhile for us to start preparing for a baby boom.
