Is The U.S. Running Out Of People? 

Unfortunately, you can't expect the boomers who produced this to actually think about things rationally and understand them. After all, they're saying women need to have 2.1 children. You can't have 0.1 of a child.

@@chironOwlglass 2.1 is an average

You can always move. That's what most people do.

@@calcrappie8507 But then there's the whole deal where moving costs money; and there is no guarantee that the area you move to will have jobs that pay as much as the area you were in before or any jobs available at all :/

@@nuelle2361 Moving involves costs, but if the tradeoff is a place where home ownership or taxes are cheaper, it might be worth it. Yes, salary may be less but so is the cost of living. The internet is full of information on different locations/employment etc. Some areas pre-Covid (primarily Midwest) had very low unemployment with jobs readily available.

"America: makes it nearly impossible for most people to be financially stable Also America: guys, why aren’t you having kids? 😕" == The best US economy we had was between1950 sand 1970s(postwar economic growth, then started to slowdown in 1980 with Reaganomics), coincide to the years baby boomers came out( it was also the peak time of pop music, rock'n roll). When the population growth is high(illegal immigration also high) it usually means high economic growth. Another proof that Trump is very, very stupid. 1980 was also the time the rich started getting richer but nobody saw the connection the slow economy. All empires(from Rome to the US) in the past fell because of inequality.

Some great people have been born in to some dire circumstances and came out on top. It’s what drives them to do better and work hard. Stay positive because it does get better but not if you expose yourself to negative thoughts and emotions. Move away from that asap. Hard work wins, if you’re not winning at the most basic level you’re not working hard enough. Plain and simple. Change your environment around you do whatever it takes because you may think I’m crazy but one day I hope you realize your worth by working hard and leaving this place a little better than when you arrived.

America isn't the land of family values; it's the land of families unvalued. Cost of healthcare and housing are high. Job security is poor. Many companies have gone bankrupt during the pandemic, leaving many people scrambling for whatever scraps they can get like slave-wave gig economy work. The gov't provides very few incentives or support to have children. Younger generations have also become more hedonistic, easily bored, socially disposable--dating sites and social media have made it easier to have a conveyer belt of acquaintances, and hyper-focused on chasing easy to obtain short-term happy neurotransmitter boosts. Having kids is a major drag on their hedonistic and overstimulated lives they're mired in. The US is unfortunately affected by many negative aspects of US-style conservatism and liberalism that synergistically squander birthrates. Conservatives fight tooth and nail to provide the skimpiest social safety and various services that allow families to flourish or even be started; to you super woke progressives, yeah yeah I know, "starting family" taken literally doesn't make sense creating a "family" doesn't require having children). Liberals don't only tolerate "alternative" lifestyles that are associated with lower birth rates with , they actively promote it. Hook up culture, polyamory, birth control, misandry, and other such things facilitate hedonism while having children is a roadblock to it

@@jzen1455 very beautifully worded nonsense

High rents and low wage

It's not because they can't afford it's Bec they have no work ethic. They don't get jobs as young teens and try to get jobs to pay their way through college. They just sit at home till it's time to get married or move out and by then there's no work ethic Bec they never worked a real day in their life. Income has not changed from 60 years ago. The housing market has increased at a less than a 1% increase from 60 years ago in comparison with salary. Salary and housing has gone up with inflation at an almost equal rate from 60 years ago as well as cost of goods. The difference is we have stupid ppl who go to colleges they can't afford to get a degree that is pointless like liberal arts and can't get a paying job and has debt and credit card debt. That's the difference between the generations. Older generation didnt spendd what they couldn't afford. We don't have more expensive things. We simply have MORE things. You don't NEED an iPhone. A flip phone would suffice. Don't need a desktop, laptop, tablet, smart watch, phone etc go back 69 years ago and they were fine with a typewriter

@@israel7valdiviez17 i mean if you wanna have children at unwanted times go off who am I to tell you no. I just think children should be born into families who want them and are prepared for them, because otherwise it can destroy their life

@@Nata-rb4vc my point is that kids always come at unwanted times people are never prepared for kids but i think people should be taught morally that money and everything else should not play a factor in wether or not to have children i think all mentally capable people should plan to have some offspring if they can because the way many people go now a days is saying they dont want kids cus they rather have money and i mean what kind of human being is that its not morally right

@@israel7valdiviez17 but if you can’t afford to feed your child and they get put into foster care how is that okay? Women should be able to have bodily autonomy like men do, we can’t just abandon children and lie that they aren’t ours like men can. If I don’t want to have children (which I really really don’t, haven’t since I was 10) that’s between me and my partner. Having kids at all in the first place is a choice, if you want kids and know you can care for them, go ham, but if you can’t you’re damning that child to a life of poverty, poor education, negligent parents, and a system that is too overwhelmed to help them. Children deserve better parents than someone like me would make. That’s why I think we should be careful about bringing new lives into the world, they need so much and some people just can’t give that.

Exactly right but the reason why is mostly undeniably man-made. Most likely because of government or authoritative artificial intervention which interrupts the cycle of individuals. Colleges have become so expensive because for the most part barrier to entry is non-existent thanks to our horrific federal student loans program. Or the fact that the government bailed out the banks in the 2008 recession when naturally they should have gone Under and new businesses would have restructured their investment models to avoid those consequences but instead the risk assessment model has gone all out of wack because Government intervened. It's why the stock market has become tied to the uncontrollable printing of the federal reserve. So in essence they the government is printing money for corporations which should have failed and in return those companies offer stock to the fed which inflates the stock valuations and stock market while the real back bone of the economy is barely limping along. The rich got richer because the Government didn't let them lose when they were supposed to! While the real economy didn't get the attention it desperately needed because those same institutions can now just rely on Big Government to take the bruising because they're "too big to fail" and print more money. Money which we need to pay back through guess what?! MORE TAXES! While we can barely afford to pay what we owe now! You want to know how you fix this? Here's a quick hint It's NOT RELYING on more of the thing which keeps Screwing us over! It's called leaving people the hell alone! STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT CAUSE IT'S FOR BECAUSE YOU JUST END UP F***ING IT UP ANYWAY!

@dragonsder so does this counter anything of my argument USA child support is still bad compared to other western contries

@dragonsder well can you connect the birth rate to the quality of getting a kid and raise it ,because you are missing my point of argument which was about how hostile the US system is for raising a kid YOU cannot say if your contry has a high birth rate the people are happy to get a lot of babies due to the fact that the birth rate is influenced by other factors like education or cultur So calling out EU system being flawed by one indicator isn't really a great way of argument Because i could also talk about France having a higher birthrate compared to USA (2.01 vs 1.73) which is the the frontier of childsupport in the EU

It always was cruel. People (regardless of wealth or prosperity) will both experience and (even worse) inflict badness onto others. OTOH, if nobody existed, there'd be nobody who would be upset at not experiencing pleasure. For example, look at Mars or Neptune's moons.

Too many young people today will choose a career just because they like it without any regard for whether that job would allow them to provide for themselves and their children, which is incredibly selfish. There are numerous studies that prove it, including one from The Atlantic. The studies show that the younger generations are less likely than any other generation in history to prioritize pay and benefits when choosing their careers. That’s why they’re the least successful generation in history. Us boomers on the other hand were more likely than any other generation to prioritize pay and benefits when choosing our careers and as a result of that, we’re the most successful generation in history. The young people I know who differ from their generations, meaning the prioritized pay and benefits, are off to a good start. One graduated during Covid and got a starting salary of $50,000; but got a promotion and a raise after less than a year on the job and just bought a brand new Mercedes. The rest got starting salaries between $70,000-about 100,000; with one exception who got a starting salary of $130,000. One of the people in that $70,000-$100,000 starting range bought a house after less than a year after entering the workforce and got promoted to sales manager after about 2 years on the job and ended up making about $150,000 a year after that promotion. It’s all about choices.

When I was in college my girlfriend got pregnant. So, I did the "right thing" I dropped out married her and got a job. When the baby arrived it looked nothing like me. A paternity test confirmed my suspicions. Never again.

@@alexriddles492 how is dropping out doing the right thing? College graduates make more than non college graduates.

@@johnmartin4641 not for long as tike goes the gap is slowly getting smaller

Yeah can we talk about how much groceries have increased. Geez!!!

The only baby I have weighs 3000 pounds and drinks gasoline.

@A P According to those elites' plan, that baby will be very likely to be replaced by an electric baby..

People care about the economy bc of how it effects quality of life.

The powers that be won’t make any sacrifices nor creative efforts to truly help the economy but they want us to make the ultimate commitment? They’re even more evil and obtuse than I already thought!

@@trent6319 . Only dumb people think they represent the economy. Only the wealthy represent the economy. The rest of us are debt slaves. Wake up!!

I had to scroll quite a way to find a comment that mentioned "the planet!" India uses a lot less renewable resources than the USA according to this video. One reason might be that they have a large percent of their population who are vegetarian. Here is a link to that part of the video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hc00FCtwHZc.html

Going Vegan: An Effective Way to Reduce Environmental Impact - Vegan Outreach. “A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use.”. -Joseph Poore, Environmental Science Researcher, University of Oxford.

Not all humans are reckless.

I hate it when parents/grandparents ask for me to have kids. I ask them what percentage of cost would they like to chip in to raise the little clone? To me, having children is just narcissistic. Dont tell me it isnt, why is it that everyone is so excited to see their physical features on the little clone, lol.

That is a Boomer for you, total greed. One child wasn't enough, so that child must have another children to fulfill her entitlements. By the time that child is a teenager, she'll probably pressure your grandchild to have a great grandchild.

Did she actually force you? No she didn’t. Marry a decent a guy who has his life together

@@iwontreplybacklol7481 there’s something wrong with your thought process

@@btetschner so a grandmother playfully asking for a grandchild is greed? Get your brain fixed

I am from gen z . And i am scared of growing up after seeing this.

Right ! I'm still paying off student loans for post-secondary education, almost done but I am now 33 and so finally I can think about saving, but not having kids anytime soon. By the time I save enough I'll be so old my eggs will probably not be viable any longer.

Knowing the correct phrase 'a lot'...priceless.

House and car? I wish!

Thats why we need free education and more social housing.

@Color Warped do you?

But a new Iphone every two years and a new 50 to 100k Tesla car every 5 years is ok for millennials and zoomers

@@THEREALZENFORCE Oh, what was I thinking? With the $700 I save every three years* I could totally afford the $230,000** price tag on raising a kid to college age! Thanks for showing me the error of my ways.*** *Phone batteries have a limited life and this is about how long I've managed to make one last **Rough estimate of the current cost of creating one adult according to fake news sources like the U.S. Department of Agriculture ***I don't know a single person my age driving a Tesla; we're buying Fords or driving our used cars into the ground like my friend whose car is a potential safety hazard right now but good luck affording a new one on the $12.50 an hour they're paying him for his biology degree

It's called capitalism, an unsustainable, anti-human system based on theft of labor and resources.

@@meehanparast whats your answer Communism? 🤣🤣

Were pretty much slaves

@@shawnkay5462well we're not happy with capitalism!

They didn’t even try to sound human.

I say support for working women to have children from helps, My grandma and her sister were teachers had 3-4 kids each and my mom and aunts all have jobs and has 2-3 kids each. My college classmates has kids or flirting with idea of having kids and it's not un-usual for offices I've been in to have mothers.

Exactly it is called a pyramid scheme for a reason, they need more new people at the bottom to make it work. The whole system is corrupt.

Socialism dies in a hundred years. Time is ticking for social security. Take resources from other sources. Wait. Those pyramid schemes are also collapsing.

Life is a ponzi scheme.

It is true everywhere: US, Japan, China... Japan is having huge problem with aging population China is now encouraging more children It is not about Capitalism. It is how a society functions. Tell me an country and their government in the history of mankind that does not encourage births?

@@georgevan2606 Show me a country that hasn't put productivity and profits ahead of everything else?

@@johnvalencia9927 Any country facing a real possibility of invasion? You pick a time period, I'll wait.

so ignorant

@@johnvalencia9927 thissss

Mine was similar. My maternal grandparents had 5 kids. They only got 6 grandchildren.

Have more.

@@Wilhelmofdeseret I have one child "only" and do not plan to have another one... pretty happy to have my child around

Same... my mom was number 9 of 12 kids. My dad was number 2 of 6. My husband and I are 38 and 37 years old with no kids. His brother no kids, my sister no kids.

same story from both sets of my granparents. My parents then had 3. I had two and tied my tubes.

That's all we really are. Workers and consumers. You're born. You go to school. You work. And then you die. I don't see a problem.

@Jacky Boi223 That's the beauty of entrepreneurship.

United Corporations of America’s....the Nordics have a way better system yet is decried as socialism here

Agreed 👍🔥😎

Actually we're wolfs in sheep's clothing or just sheep. A wolf will lead the sheep while the sheep will follow their wolf.
