Elder millennial here. I had kids, my brother didn’t, and my kids, though young enough to change their minds, are adamant they won’t have kids.
I think the more interesting stat likely unfolding is the marked decrease of great grandparents in a generation.
To be clear this is not a “threat to society” or whatever, people can decide if they want kids or not. Just a shower thought.
The real solution has always been immigration to get more bodies in the country managing the economy. It’ll never happen though.
Doesn't that just kick the can down the road?
No. The world population will hit 10 billion in the year 2040. The only question is whether there will be enough people to keep the first world going or not.
To replace the existing population, you have to throw open the gates and let people in. No country is willing to do that.
You're listening to too much right-wing media. In fact, deportations have increased under Biden compared to Trump.
You didn't put in any numbers which means you don't have them. You're being oppositional for opposition's sake and are not worth further engagement. /out
And the reason why you can't be conversed with is that you are in it for the attack. I have an opinion and your response is "NOOO YOU ARE WRONG BECAUSE OF NUMBERS" as if I don't have a right to believe what I believe. Then you made it personal on multiple occasions. What is really happening here is that someone has an opinion that bothers you and you feel insecure as a result and need to attack.
Having sent this message, I will now block you to make sure I never have to encounter you again.

We have not let in 2 million immigrants in total in any year, let alone just indian ones. Maybe fact-check your stuff before spouting it off?
And no, immigration did not grow by 4x compared to last year. That's absurd.
