This guy can't imagine that "civilization" was just fine in 1956, when there were only 2.8 billion people in the world instead of 8 billion

 Kevin Dolan: If Birth Rates Continue To Plummet, Civilization Will End

 

 Birth rates inevitably decline for the economic reasons with which Mr. Dolan says he's primarily concerned. But he himself doesn't seem to reckon with the fact that the spread of prosperity has produced population growth to the point of its current natural limit. Years ago already it was predicted that global population would peak around 9 billion before falling. It falls because that's what prosperity does. Prosperity dulls the natural response to want, which is reproduction.

 

Meanwhile Mao killed his millions by the tens from 1949 and America killed its millions by the tens from 1973 and few have been the wiser.

Oddly, we still call this civilization.

 

Be that as it may, failure to reproduce eventually will necessitate a gradual and huge redistribution of wealth from the older population to the younger population, involving sometimes quite dramatic repricing of goods and services in the process because of the law of supply and demand.

 

And then at some point the natural response to reproduce will reassert itself "after the money's gone".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once in a lifetime.

 

Abortion has left a "million empty spaces" every damn year since 1973 but we're supposed to view the COVID-19 death toll as cruel somehow

 Million empty spaces: Chronicling Covid's cruel American toll...

 

A reckoning is surely coming, and a million dead from COVID-19 is nothing compared to the utter evil cruelty and complacency of Americans in the face of this unspeakable holocaust of over 60 million.

We're as bad as any of the evil perpetrators of communist democide in China or Russia.

Fidel Castro is finally dead: In 1987 the low estimate of the number of his own people he butchered was 35,000

You'll have to look elsewhere than The New York Times' fawning obituary for that information. Raul still lives, unfortunately, and then there are the offspring, who probably ought to start thinking about their escape plans.
