I don’t see this as a bad thing.

Agree, other than the extent to which society is kinda like a Ponzi scheme, where there are benefits to having more young people than old.
This is half of what is killing childbirth:
The other half is realizing that a child born today will live through a climate change hellscape, even if you ignore all the other problems in the world.

Easily solvable with immigration. But if someone sees an advantage in having a domestic birth rate at replacement level then women 20-40 with an education and a job should get the support they need to have more children, not 15 year olds.

Don’t worry, teen birth rates will soon recover
Voluntarily reducing the human population might be the only way to prevent an involuntary reduction.

Is there a supposed to be a shortage of human beings? Seems like we have way too many of them.
Lincoln has gotten rather large lately I think. Last census it was bordering on 50K people.
Once or twice. If you do it every time no matter how pretty, the extra 3 hours are very apparent
Holy shit 1991, what were you doing?
Im ok with both having a below replacement rate nunber of births and immigrants coming to fill the void.

Was an interesting experience reading this post thinking it was part of the commentary on declining birth rates.

I’m a little late to the discussion but I’ve also taken Econ 101 classes. Two of them actually one was intro to microeconomics and one was intro to macroeconomics. And I pretty much agree with the takes in this thread.
Actually an industrial economics class I took in third year really helped push me to be more left leaning. It was basically a class on game theory and really made me realize that a lot of stuff that I was taught in business school was straight up bullshit and doesn’t work in the real world.

There’s enough but its the wrong type in the wrong place. Its like if we didn’t have enough food but there was a million watermelons in Alaska.
I don’t suppose someone could give me cliffs on this. Is Stephen A also MAGA? From Rupar:
