What is the correct population to have?
High fertility rates are concentrated in countries with average IQs below 100.
Having grown up in a thinly populated area and spent most of my adult life in a heavily populated area, I think that fewer is better.
80% of US population growth is driven by immigration, legal and illegal. We take in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants annually plus over 300,000 children are born each year to illegal aliens and become citizens automatically thru birthright citizenship.
Over 2 million illegal aliens have entered the US since Biden became President and hundreds of thousands enter monthly thru our open border. Regardless of how they enter, the US does not have a population deficit or shortage of labor.
Regardless of the source, we are not having a population collapse. Just the opposite.
Yet you continue to live in that heavily populated area while there are plenty of thinly populated areas available.
Maybe what’s keeping you in the heavily populated area is a product of that very population.
“Having grown up in a thinly populated area and spent most of my adult life in a heavily populated area, I think that fewer is better.”
Being an off-the-chart introvert I wholeheartedly agree.
“Regardless of the source, we are not having a population collapse. Just the opposite.”
How do you know that?
>>High fertility rates are concentrated in countries with average IQs below 100.<<
What enables the high fertility rates, is charity from the First World. Charity paid by taxes, paid by the middle class, who then find it is too expensive to raise many of their own children.
End that, and things might come into balance.
>>What is the correct population to have?<<
It’s not a question of “correct population” but rather “sufficient numbers of educated, skilled, productive people to keep civilization going”.
Once you fall below a critical number of those people (and I think our “supply chain” issues are a symptom of that) then things fall apart: too many consumers of stuff, not enough skilled producers.
Bureau of the Census data.
Add in what the horrid $hots are doing, to fertility and birth rates…..and, it’s even worse.
Thanks, FRAUDci-Gates.

The majority,of livable land is state parks and nation parks. There is plenty of livable land that isn’t harsh conditions. I live in a area where you could walk into the woods and keep walking for days and see noone- it’s all shut off to development because its a huge state park. Some folks also own massive tracts of land. The points that no, we are nowhere near running out of habitable fertile land, but we are shut off from inhabiting perfectly habitable land
Well, all of this touches on the individual reproductive choices which literally billions of women are making for their lives.
I agree.
Especially today. We once assimilated people, and everyone sort of became “American.” That is no longer true today. The modern emphasis is on diversity, inclusion and tolerance, which is in reality all about pandering to minority blocks and segregating people based on various demographics. Today we highlight the differences rather than promoting a unified culture and self identity of what it means to be American. This is a recipe for failure.
This is what you have in Israel (Jew and Palestinians), Iraq (Shia, Suni, Kurd), most other places in this world, and every asshole little leader knows how to play the game of using these blocks of people for their own advantage.
However, while I agree with you because most of these people that are coming in today are from socialist nations and they continue to hold onto these far left ideas even though they fled from the consequences of such failed systems, we have one small advantage. Many of our immigrants from South of the border are Catholic, they are in terms of a value system very compatible with us. In some other places they brought in millions of Muslims, and that opens a whole new dimension of problems long term.
California plans to spend billions to buyout farmers to conserve water.
Seriously? Visit Nevada. The northeast and central parts of that state have room for millions and millions. And millions.
Seriously? Visit Nevada.
I've been all over the U.S. and Nevada's wind swept desert tundra. How about you? It's either extreme heat or cold with little or no water with poor soil. No?
Do you have any idea the Federal government owns 85 percent of the land in Nevada? Do you not understand this is not prime or desirable land?
Just spent 2 weeks in Nevada. Not my first time out there.
Why is Federal Gov’t ownership of the land a problem?
And Nevada is just one state. Numerous states have abundant land. Or is that land off limits for some silly reason, like frogs?
