You all have such faith in your own American stats and numbers. Are they counting every village and country bush town? WHO's counting?(pun)



Those aren't just American numbers, those are numbers compiled from all over the world.

For example, Jamaica's birth rate has completely tanked in recent years. They don't have the same causes, but this is where they are now.

WHO is counting and HOW are they accessing EVERY village and town globally?

This is more bad logic based on foolish stats that stem from a lifestyle that is not condusive for a flourishing humanity. It's only Western people who say this garbage becasue westerners live a self centered over consuming urban lifestyle. There's enough room and food for more poeple, it's just that you all like cities.

Too many large cities are bad, not too many people living spread out.
Not really, one, cities are more efficient and help to leave natural landscapes in place, deforestation to build spread out communities is causing climate change, the cost to run utilities to these areas is also a net negative. We’re also destroying too much natural land for large farms, grazing, as well as overfishing the seas. Finally we’re creating more and more trash in world full of disposable, cheap goods, this stuff ends up in oceans or being burned further contributing to climate change. There is no need for continued exponential growth of the human race other than economic incentives

I have 1 child, and that is more than anybody else in the child bearing age generation of my family.
I do have a cousin with 4 kids, but he was adopted, so while he technically beats me, my 1 child is literally the only person younger than gen z in our entire bloodline

Every society lived and produced mostly locally until this modern era, there was still trade but not on this scale.

Utilities is mismanaged, scientists have proven eons ago that energy can be obtained from the ground, not including solar, wind, water etc. So utilities is no excuse, neither is farming. Every home/neighborhood/town can sustain itself on local grown crops like before. You dont need a ton of large farms. It's also been proven energy can be obtained from trash.

It's plain mismanagement, nothing to do with population.

Top executives at publicly traded US companies mentioned labor shortages nearly 7,000 times in earnings calls over the last decade, according to an analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis last week.

“A reduction in the share of workers can lead to labor shortages, which may raise the bargaining power of employees and lift wages — all of which is ultimately inflationary,” Simona Paravani-Mellinghoff, managing director at BlackRock, wrote in an analysis last year.

And while net immigration has helped offset demographic problems facing rich countries in the past, the shrinking population is now a global phenomenon. “This is critical because it implies advanced economies may start to struggle to ‘import’ labour from such places either via migration or sourcing goods,” wrote Paravani-Mellinghoff.
Stop gatekeeping these jobs with degrees. Half of them can be taught on the job. A friend of mine retired after 25 years in the military. General Dynamics turned him down for a job for the very same thing he was doing while active because he didn't have a degree.:why:


BlackRock’s expert advises her clients to invest in inflation-linked bonds, as well as inflation-hedging commodities like energy, industrial metals and agriculture and livestock.

Imagine saying this with a straight face when your company is contributing to the problem. Buying up houses and properties at the same time.

We are not going back to local farming and local farming cannot sustain the world population, the population grew because of industrialization of food production and advances in medicine. The world doesn’t need more people.

The vast majority of growth in population has been the last 120 years, and lo and behold we’re seeing all the adverse affects on the planet. That rate of growth is not necessary nor needed

The world needs more white babies :sas1:
Exactly, such an obvious dog whistle :mjlol:.

They’re not gonna get them :yeshrug:. Can’t increase your population with rhetoric. They obviously aren’t willingly to do the restructuring that needs be done to create the economic conditions that encourage population growth. No surprise that all the growth is going to come from places where you don’t need much to live, in spite of not having much

"The world needs more babies" It does? :leon: I thought there were too many people on the planet? :mjgrin:
same dikkheads are always complaining about climate change, and how we're running out of water. we don't need more fukkin babies :camby:

if humanity was fine when we were at 5 billion people, what's the problem with 8 billion gradually going back down to 7 over like a 100 year timespan? we'll be alright

Exactly.


In the US at this point you need to be either rich or poor to be able to afford more than 2 kids. People in the middle can't afford that shyt anymore. I've spent over $130k on day care and my kids DID NOT go to the expensive ones in the area.
:mjcry: damn breh not to be nosy you don't got any family that could help out watching your kids.
