After the wide-scale apoplexy induced by reports of overpopulation, an ice age, global warming, and then climate change, the apocalypse of the season may be shifting to low birth rates and population loss. In recent months, authorities no less diverse and august than Pantsuited Demographer Hillary Clinton and Hillbilly Procreationist J.D. Vance have weighed in with their preferred remedies. I regret to report that no one has suggested any politically and culturally acceptable solutions, so it is time to grin and bear it.
Mr. Vance, a seemingly dedicated Europhobe, proposes an oddly Continental menu of transfer payments to parents to promote fertility rates. Unfortunately, most of what the Vance school has suggested — generous tax benefits and other subsidies for families – already exists in European countries that have fertility rates even lower than those in the United States. Bribing people to have babies is not likely to be more successful than were past attempts at bribing them not to have babies. Procreation is funny that way.
While Wikipedia reports that the Shakers, once 6,000 strong, are down to their last three members, Hillary Clinton’s new anti-natalist fervor may increase their rolls to four. She recently reacted to Mr. Vance by lambasting any suggestion of encouraging our existing native population to have more children because it would purportedly reduce women to the roles that bound them in the 1950s.
Her answer: mass immigration from third-world cultures with high fertility rates. She apparently wants to delegate manual labor to immigrant men and the labor of labor to immigrant women.
There is nothing new to the proposal of large-scale immigration to offset low fertility, but there is an inherent fallacy that undermines this solution. Specifically, if third-world immigrants successfully assimilate, they will rapidly adopt the low fertility habits of natives, …

No mention of the fact that lower birth rates will result in less consumption of fossil fuels.

Contraception does more to drive down birth rates than abortion does.
We don’t need huge population growth. Most jobs will be automated.
U.S.: births: 12.2 per 1,000 population.
Mexico: 14.0 per 1,000 population
Costa Rica: 10.7 per 1,000 population
Colombia: 15.1 per 1,000 population
It’s the ABCs of self-genocide: Western Civilization is aborting, buggering, and contracepting itself out of existence.
At least Japan will remain Japanese. They may lose 99% of their population by 2100.

In the past, larger families could be supported easier. The shift from larger agrarian families to smaller urban families made a significant difference as well. Also child mortality rates decreased so that too changed how people had their families.
Half of America is paycheck to paycheck.
Many will never own a home.
Until something changes, only rich folks and government dependents will have kids, if they even want them.

They disappeared in 2008, and have not been replenished since.
I watched Myra Breckenridge for the first time since it was first run in 1970. And a movie analysis show made in 2004 discussing it——very well done.
So many lines were interesting such as Rex Reed bored hearing “Yes, yes, overpopulation is destroying the planet and by 1974 there will be a famine. I’ve heard it all so many times.”
That was the talk that led years later to the supposed excuse for sex change and emasculation as something helpful against climate change. But now the world population is not “exploding.” At all.
And Farrah Fawcett (1st role-—as was Tom Selleck) wishing Myra (Racquel Welch) were a man, and she yearned for a husband, marriage and children, causing Welch to hold her forehead from the distress of the mundane talk.
In the movie, “Myra’s stated goal concerning men is the destruction of the last vestiges of traditional manhood, according to IMDb quotes. She believes that traditional masculinity, particularly in its American form, is outdated and needs to be dismantled. She aims to achieve this destruction “in all its particulars”. This is part of her larger objective to realign the sexes, reduce population, and ultimately increase human happiness, preparing humanity for its next stage. She views herself as the “New Woman” and “the Age of Woman Triumphant” as she attempts to redefine gender roles and expose the flaws of a male-dominated society, particularly within the context of Hollywood.”
The novelist Gore Vidal refused to be associated with the movie which he called a sick joke and garbage. He blamed the movie for ruining sales of his book for ten years.
Now all you get is 120 lbs women beating the crap out of 240 lbs men and acting like tough guys.
Modern Western feminism actually hates women.
They hate the classic roles women play as a mother and wife, they hate childbearing, they hate true female beauty, they hate everything which is naturally, historically, religiously, “woman.”
Their idea of creating equality is not to explain the struggles of being a woman, providing context and value to what women do, but to make women more manlike.
HRC is a perfect example.
Equality in America is to create androgynous people, where men have feelings and paint their nails, have their braids done, and women walk with a big stride and carry a gun in the military or law enforcement. “Equality” is pretending there are no differences between women and men and trying to stuff as many people as possible in the other sexes role.
If it were not real, it would be laughable.
I unselfishly offer my services. However, my wife may have a differing POV.
Importing people from countries with higher fertility rates is pointless, their fertility rates don’t stay high in the US.
Culture is the cause and the cure. It’s just that most people don’t want to zip their pants and grow up. Both sexes are immature and prefer their vices over the virtues of family life. Most won’t figure it out until they are too old to raise a family.
The first step is to stop telling kids in school that kids are a burden. The second step is a universal basic income tax deduction of 100K and a 20K per child tax deduction.
Of course, government would have to go on a severe spending diet. That’s very unlikely with the current grifters.
What’s really going to happen is the declining population will be replaced with AI and robots.
And then there’s the “zero population growth” movement, and the “playboy mentality” that views children as evil.
As long as it’s only the democrats/progressive/liberals/communist deciding to abort and use contraceptives to not have children, the U.S. will be a lot better off.
Well, don’t worry too much. The Opus Dei Catholics, Amish and Mennonites, conservative Baptists, and Mormons are working overtime.

Well, sterilizing the next generation of kids and propagandizing them into believing they are gay, lesbian, or trans probably won’t increase the numbers.
