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 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

These will have a disproportionate impact on the future.

And that is the truth. SS, 401(k), and just about every other retirement game presupposes that someone will pick up the slack with the current payers retire. At our current birthrates, that is not going to happen.
