The only conclusion I have so far is that urban living is a disaster for birth rates. The notion of getting taxed to finance the infrastructure in cities now seems even more repugnant than it did before I watched this video.

Did Obama leave the presidency and live in a small apartment?

Do the Clintons live in a small apartment?

The Democrat Crime Families will lecture you on how to live, but they don’t follow their own advice.

Americans used to learn about this experiment and keeping America’s population down to around the 200 million of 1970 was a goal with 2.2 kids and cleaning up our nations rivers and beautifying our cities, with the moon visits happening and Mars in the future, race relations being worked out with the 88% white America and 12/13% black (pre-hispanic) Americans and English the only language used or even thought of, personal freedom at an unbelievable level compared to today.

A bright and positive future of science and advancement and social harmony and a country of wide open spaces with fishing, camping, and hunting just outside the cities yet a population big enough for everything.
