U.S. Fertility Rate Fell to a Record Low, for a Second Straight Year

i think we need to stop being concerned with the replacement rate and all that because who are they replacing? machines are gonna do that. you can't complain about how we're going to be missing out on X million potential citizens because of our low birthrate while telling the people that X million jobs will be lost forever.

There’s already a shortage of people to take care of the elderly and people with Alzheimer’s. It’s only going to get worse. Even legalizing euthanasia won’t fill that gap due to hostility towards it.

Shannon Hettinger, a 32-year-old from Washington, D.C., said she definitely wanted children. She grew up in a large family in a small town in Pennsylvania and almost all her high school friends are married with children. But she moved to Washington, and spent her 20s deciding on a career. Now that she has one she loves — she works in residential real estate sales — she is not going to stop until she gets established. That means not having children for a while.

“I just want to build my book of business and see where I can go from here,” she said. “My whole focus is career growth. That’s my No. 1 priority.”

By the time she gets to where she wants to be, she will be at 40. See this all the time here in DC with these career women.

This is happening all over the western world. Germany has a negative population growth. I think that’s why they’ve been takin in so many immigrants.

Yeah, if you're these western countries, if you can't bring in immigrants in big numbers, you're going to have to hope for a slow decline like Japan. Especially due to the dependency on economic growth to sustain things.

The U.S. may have to actually start fukkin with nikkas if this continues.

The population in America tripled in the last 50 years. Not enough land and resources to take care of 350 million people.
