I’m not sure why we are allowing China and India’s population overgrowth to resettle in the United States, thereby unsettling our future and allowing those nations to flourish.

They’re made-up. It’s a forecast.

When there are no borders or separate national identities it becomes easier to create one big happy world...right?

Because American corporations want them as employees.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28nominal%29

From 2023 to 2024, nominal global GDP grew $10.5t.

The US accounted for $1.1t of that growth. PRC accounted to $0.9t of that growth.

Rounding out the top 5 are Germany ($0.2t), Japan (a $0.2t contraction), and India ($0.3t).

America accounted for 10.5% of that growth, PRC at 8.6%, Germany at 2%, Japan at -2%, and India at 2.9%.

The World of Statistics is pushing a lie.

Maybe we should stop importing wage slaves from India.

Ask American corporations who hire them.

This is a terrible Twitter page.

They show the US divorce rate at 45%. That is way off, and also based on a colloquial and erroneous annual divorces / annual marriages definition of “divorce rate.”

In reality, the divorce rate is # of divorces in year X / total number of married couples at the beginning of year X.

In 2024, there were 989,518 divorces (https://www.bgsu.edu/ncfmr/resources/data/family-profiles/loo-divorce-rate-US-geographic-variation-2022-fp-23-24.html). In 2022, there were 56.9MM married couples (sum of married filing jointly and married filing separately/2 tax returns).

That makes for a divorce rate of 989.518/56,900=1.7%.

The World of Statistics is a World of Incompetence.

When you don’t have environmental regulations you can be the top two producers.

China always lies. Their numbers were decided in a committee.

I understand what you are trying to communicate, but most people gravitate towards how many marriages end in divorce and it is around 50%. That is what most people refer to as the divorce rate and is much more meaningful than a math equation.

An even more interesting equation is the divorce rate calculated by years married. First year = x%, etc.

Just because people gravitate to the incorrect metric doesn’t make the metric kosher. Feelings never trump reason.

Further, averages mask each marriage vintage’s profile: https://www.aei.org/op-eds/divorce-in-decline-about-40-of-todays-marriages-will-end-in-divorce/.

In addition, the % of first marriages ending in divorce after 10 years has been ticking down.

Thus, the annual divorce rate isn’t 50%, nor is the lifetime divorce rate.
