    Don't worry. They'll "solve" the problem with abortion bans.

    People have already "solved" that problem by simply giving up on sex. We are headed into Japan territory.

    Exactly. Without immigration, our population would collapse. Our birthrate is 1.64 per woman. Japan's is 1.2. The replacement rate is 2. It's just too damn expensive to have kids, put a roof over our heads, and retire. Meanwhile the fed just funnels more money to the rich. No wonder the workers can't maintain the population: we're starving and the government is giving all the food to the rich.
