US Births Dip To 30-Year Low (npr.org)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from NPR: The birthrate fell for nearly every group of women of reproductive age in the U.S. in 2017, reflecting a sharp drop that saw the fewest newborns since 1978, according to a new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There were 3,853,472 births in the U.S. in 2017 -- "down 2 percent from 2016 and the lowest number in 30 years," the CDC said. The general fertility rate sank to a record low of 60.2 births per 1,000 women between the ages of 15 and 44 -- a 3 percent drop from 2016, the CDC said in its tally of provisional data for the year. The results put the U.S. further away from a viable replacement rate -- the standard for a generation being able to replicate its numbers. "The rate has generally been below replacement since 1971," according to the report from CDC's National Center for Health Statistics. "The decline in the rate from 2016 to 2017 was the largest single-year decline since 2010," the CDC said. The 2017 numbers also represent a 10-year fall from 2007, when the U.S. finally broke its post-World War baby boom record, with more than 4.3 million births.
You left out Communism., which killed far more than Fascism. Funny how you left that out and threw in "Organized Religion." That would seem hard to do if you are genuinely interested and opposed to "the most evil movements the human race has ever seen." It is actually backwards.
much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot - George Orwell
No, but for those in power - their power comes from the number of people they control.
Their tax cattle are not breeding fast enough. So they bring in new stock.
They then lie to their old stock - telling them that diversity is your strength, and to be happy to share your hard work and the hard work of your ancestors with these new people.
Ignore that the new people have no understanding of what made your country great. Ignore that most of them came from nations where the average IQ is 85 - which is below the level at which you can play any part in a democracy. Ignore that their culture is utterly alien and incompatible with any notion of human rights and decency... and isn't going to pay any attention to this diversity nonsense that 's been swallowed by the white idiots.
No... just flood them in. It will all work out.
In reality of course, what you are watching is an invasion. One that will result enormous bloodshed if it's not reverse - and quickly.
No, I do not. While they called themselves "communism", they actually fall under fascism in most respects that matter. The funny thing here is how utterly clueless you are. But I guess you just want to push some demented propaganda.
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
He didn't leave it out, he just didn't want to mislead people like you seem bent on doing.
The communists in question were fascists. To the core.
Slaughtering humans and letting them starve because they're an inferior breed of Rus aren't any tenants of Communism that I'm aware of.
The real problem, is that *most* revolutions end up with some form of fascist government, regardless of their economic model. America lucked out in this regard.
When the world sees communism for real, and not simple fascism dressed in red, it will come form scandinavia.
