Just a reminder that our reproductive rate is also below the replacement rate. If not for immigration, the population of the US would also be in decline. Japan is showing us our future.

Agree.

With respect, an amendment, God is also unforgiving of whole nations when a "stiff-necked" people will not turn away from ways which the prophets detailed, millennia ago. Whether one relies on religious ways of looking at things, or scientific or civilizational / cultural, the demopgrahics tells all. Over time.
