In 2025, for the first time ever, the U.S. population could shrink

The United States is on the precipice of a historic, if dubious, achievement. If current trends hold, 2025 could be the first year on record in which the US population actually shrinks.
The math is straightforward. Population growth has two sources: natural increase (births minus deaths) and net immigration (arrivals minus departures). Last year, births outnumbered deaths by 519,000 people. That means any decline in net immigration in excess of half a million could push the U.S. into population decline. A recent analysis of Census data by the Pew Research Center found that between January and June, the US foreign-born population fell for the first time in decades by more than one million. While some economists have questioned the report, a separate analysis by the American Enterprise Institute predicted that net migration in 2025 could be as low as negative 525,000. In either case, annual population growth this year could easily turn negative.

325 million is enough in my book. We'll just have to figure out how to deal with the economic ramifications of population stagnation.
It also may be time to look at outlawing birth control.

Stop building all these apartment complexes in the south.

Why?

Between deportations, low birth rates and Boomers starting to die off rapidly we could see net population reductions in the millions in the next decade.
It will have devastating effects on the economy unfortunately as products become less in demand and labor becomes scarce.

Sounds like a lot of nice houses about to become cheaper.

Women having total agency over their own reproductive systems has not been good for society in a myriad of ways, not least of which is population decline specifically among their more successful demographics.

Probably because consumerism is about to take a giant shite over the course of the next 30 or 40 years as corporations have to adjust to earnings not being higher every single year.

Explain to me again why this would be considered bad?

Long term it's honestly great for everyone involved. The transition in the short term will be probably be ugly.
