Fantastic.
We have far too many people right now.
This is a good thing. We need a massive reduction in population across the glove.
Baby Boomers all need to die. And they should've planned for retirement better. frick em.

Yep. I have two Latino kids and plan on having more. We are going to take your country, make you speak Spanish, and force every white male have one homosex experience in order to graduate.

This is why you don't create massive social retirement programs in the first place.

I'm 100% for this. I'd happily opt out of programs and sign a paper giving up my rights to those programs

not if you want your social security to pay out. Need productive people to replace the ones going into retirement.
Why is my SS gonna run out when it's money I paid in myself yet there's no threat that welfare will run out?

Nobody is dying anymore. And the worse the economy becomes, the less people want children because they're expensive. It is not possible to have infinite growth of the human species.

Can we get a demographic breakdown of the 59.6? Purely for academic reasons, of course.

The people you want to reproduce (i.e. college educated folks with strong family values) are mostly saddled with student loan debt and don't want the financial burden that a child brings. Can't say I blame them.

The youth of the country don't want to be bothered with shite like having kids, that would get in the way of their artisanal bread making class.

That's adorable you think social security is going to be around in 25 years. Bless your heart.

SS would be fine if our politicians didn't steal all the money years ago and turned it into a Ponzi scheme.

It may be hyperbole, but I've never witnessed anything that would make me concerned that our reproductive rate is headed for disaster.
Just last Sunday, I was at the Walmart on Highland, and the cashier proudly indicated she was going home for an event where she would see her 24 grandchildren. Given she didn't strike me as elderly, it made me curious how many great grandchildren she had the potential to meet. I could only imagine how much fun Thanksgiving would be if I had enough cousins to field an 11v11 flag football game.

This is good. The less populated the Earth is, the more likely my frozen brain will be resuscitated like the contract will stipulate.

It's pretty hard to prove something that hasn't occurred yet. However, the birth rate is declining and it's reasonable to believe it will reach an unsustainable level very soon.
I'll give you some links to my reasoning if you'd like though.

In other words, the rate of global population growth has slowed. And it’s expected to keep slowing. Indeed, according to experts’ best estimates, the total population of Earth will stop growing within the lifespan of people alive today.
And then it will fall.
This is a counterintuitive notion in the United States, where we’ve heard often and loudly that world population growth is a perilous and perhaps unavoidable threat to our future as a species. But population decline is a very familiar concept in the rest of the developed world, where fertility has long since fallen far below the 2.1 live births per woman required to maintain population equilibrium.

People have worried about this since at least the 18th century, when British political economist Thomas Malthus first theorized that unchecked population growth would ultimately lead to starvation. China, so concerned about the drain of overpopulation on its resources, instituted a one-child policy in 1979, imposing heavy fines on parents who go over the limit.
But it turns out the world’s population isn’t growing nearly as fast as it once did. In fact, experts say the rate of population growth will continue to slow and that the total population will eventually — likely within our lifetimes — fall.
