Long Slide Looms for World Population, With Sweeping Ramifications

All over the world, countries are confronting population stagnation and a fertility bust, a dizzying reversal unmatched in recorded history that will make first-birthday parties a rarer sight than funerals, and empty homes a common eyesore....

...Like an avalanche, the demographic forces — pushing toward more deaths than births — seem to be expanding and accelerating. Though some countries continue to see their populations grow, especially in Africa, fertility rates are falling nearly everywhere else. Demographers now predict that by the latter half of the century or possibly earlier, the global population will enter a sustained decline for the first time.

Forced immigration from Africa and Latin America will fix that in a jiffy.

Ghost cities are appearing in northeastern China.

These ghost cities were already there i China even when the population was growing. It’s the fault of a command economy that scarce resources were not used optimally.

Fertility is falling in Latin America too. The export of birth control and abortion is taking its toll there, though slower than here and in Europe and Asia. That is because traditionally they’ve valued large families, but that is changing. Only in Africa have they (so far)3 been more successfully resisting it.

Sounds like billy gates is smiling. He and his pals would love to see the world population around 500 million.

Imagine a gig economy filled with grandparents and Super Bowl ads promoting procreation.

Imagine a world where abortion is shunned.

Try a LOT earlier, if the Great Reset has its day.

Like 100M people in the US by 2025.

The collectivists want the population to be reduced by 95%.

So why are they acting like this is bad?

Agenda 21. Short version: reduce the human population to about 500,000,000. That means eliminating about 7.2 billion people. Or stopping people from reproducing. Gee, that sound familiar to anyone? Hint: Covid and related. Oh yeah and the new airborne Ebola thing running rampant in Africa (not being covered by the media - mortality rate is about 90%).

Socialism stagnates population growth. The Soviet Union , despite state efforts to the contrary, saw its population shrink.

As power and wealth flows into the central command areas , the people outside the Elite zone have less income to raise children with. They also have less incentives to do so as the all encompassing state takes over the family roles from womb to the tomb.

They want to boost immigration numbers from the current 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year. Immigrants and their US-born children drive 80% of our population growth. About 90% of our annual immigration intake are minorities as defined by the USG. We are being colonized by the Third World.

Since 2000 the population of the US has increased by 52 million people--equal to the population of South Korea and 14 million more than the current population of Canada. The US does not have a population problem. Corporations want an inexhaustible supply of cheap labor to depress wages. The Dems want more voters to become the permanent majority. Immigrants and minorities vote more than two to one Dem.

The scariest graph in the world, especially for Europe and the US.
