Yes, -- but we are living longer. Thus, it's a good thing our pop growth has slowed. At this point (rate of change), I am thinking no kids or one kid is probably prudent. Or, even delaying kids until you retire (not medically feasible yet, but... should probably be happening, for most 2-income, busy working couples). Heck, grandparents in many households ARE raising their (grand)kids, as it is.

The prudent ones are having zero to one kid. Meanwhile the Jihadis are having 5-10. The prudent ones will die off, and the world will be inherited by those who choose to be imprudent

The whole retirement game (whether you rely of social security, 401-K's, or whatever) presupposes that there will be a productive next generation who will pay the taxes for social security, and work in the companies that your 401-K has invested in. The reality looks like it will be that the next generation will be completely uninterested in workingf for the benefit of todays white non-Muslim middle-class

STill disagree. Do some reading on trends in demographics these days and I think you'll find that, at least in Western civilization and Japan, the failure to reproduce at the replacement rate presents HUGE problems for the future.

Plus it's just a sign of deep-seated pessimism.
