US Birthrate Continues to Decline

[JohnDB]

Agreed. Vance will be the next President. But we need a nice FIREBREATHER for his VP and NEXT on the hit parade.

Tulsi?
Rubio?

 

[Correll]

Tulsi?
Rubio?

A couple dollars an hour, can make a massive difference in standard of living.

I have seen that in my own life, and the lives of those around me.

Ok Boomer. That was fifty years ago.

I think there's better ways to address the issues....
Like restoring our domestic manufacturing for a profit.
Punitive tariffs on goods and nations participating in trade of stolen intellectual property.
Protecting American workers and trades with tax incentives paid for by tariffs for businesses.
Free trade agreements that are really reciprocal....not just said to be reciprocal.

Not just tax credits for gratuity workers....but stop all wages and taxes and even bothering to file for them.like it used to be decades ago....
It drastically raises all wages in these industries. 5-6 waitstaff's wages vx one cook and one dishwasher....the cook and dishwasher can get paid a fair wage once again. Their wages are not going to pay waitstaff.

Things like that mean much much more....and don't consist of a government check being handed out. High tides raises ALL ships.

Going to take so so so so so much more than the above.

Whats the benefit? Assuming all the financials are a net zero, whats the benefit of more than one or two kids exactly?

It's a single idea out of many necessary.
You knocking it?

Our nation not having a complete societal breakdown.

Many jobs that are usually thankless are being performed by younger, low-skill workers that machines/robots cannot replace. Or robotics are too expensive and too limited to replace humans.
($5million to replace $10 worth of labor.)

Then there's the moderate skill that still requires younger people. Things like military, police, firemen, nurses, doctors, mechanics, elevator repair and etc etc etc.

Lots of jobs that robots flat out can't do and will never do, people already pay large salaries for these positions....and the labor pool to hire from is rapidly shrinking.

It's one thing to be a geriatric in an old folks home fully staffed....what happens if there is no staff to hire at any price? (We are almost there)

There are certain nations currently on time bombs set to go off inside of ten years.
South Korea is one of them. Taiwan is another. (Both fight for lowest fertility)

Japan is also having the same issue.
CCP has been lying about their fertility rates for decades but refuse to admit their "one child" policy was a disaster of their own making.

Meaning....
Very soon we are going to see more tangible effects of the shortage of young people.
Grocery stores will stop being well stocked....even in the nice neighborhoods.
Fast food restaurants closed for no reason
Public schools closing due to no children.
Unavailability of skilled trades.
Staffing shortages for food processing factories.
Meaning more less processed foods everywhere or highly processed foods....not much in-between.

Economies are going to become depressed causing widespread hyperinflation. (Double digit to triple digit inflation as services become more valuable than goods or money....especially fiat currencies).

All leading to a new wave of slavery....

This is gonna get ugly quickly. Especially if there is literally no where to go.

This is gonna get real here very very soon.
South Korea is home to many manufacturing/assembly plants for many goods....has been for decades.
Everything from home appliances to electronics.
And Vietnam is home to most of European coffee producers.

Both are facing eminent crisis from a lack of children.

Both will become realities before Vance leaves office and affects US citizens.

Nope. Its a vert tiny beginning. It will also be very interesting to watch AI and its impact on our nation. Definitely alot less manpower will be needed.
