That's why they need to indoctrinate your children.

1. Explain to me why we are going to need more people once AI, Automation, and Advanced Robotics gain more traction year by year and eventually take over?

2. Explain to me why in the scenario in #1 the solution is to import low IQ, uneducated, unskilled people from Third World shitholes who won't be able to work and will have no money to feed, house, or take car of themselves?

Interesting chart but how many of those cities does it take to equal one Houston/New York/Chicago?

Most counties with high fertility are very rural


there is a lot of west texas on there so mexican and like 7000 total people in the county

Harris county alone has 1.2 million kids but Houston is an outlier compared to other more expensive big metros. Even still you can see the lib vs consertive work here in the map.

Thats all well and good... except the previous administration opened the border and allowed millions upon millions of undesirable illegal immigrants to flood into the country, most of which will require/demand government assistance until the day that they die. And so will their children (who apparently are now legal US Citizens if born here according to the US Supreme Court).

At the same time, the American Left will turn around and promise an endless list of taxpayer-funded benefits for them and their families.

So while their own voters are having fewer children, they're simultaneously advocating policies that grow the population through illegal immigration and expand the welfare state. That's not exactly a long-term strategy for preserving the country or the culture. (which at this point is openly their goal...)

I would say part of it is due to politics, but part of it is also due to economics.

We have 2 kids, and are probably going to stick with only 2, but if I felt like public school was an option we may not have stopped at 2. We also started having kids a bit later in life because my wife and I both went to graduate school.

ETA: and we definitely aren’t leftists

A list of affluent counties full of educated young folks with good jobs making sound financial decisions as they start families.

My communist cousins openly say they don’t want to have kids because of climate change.

According to AI

quote:


Using recent Census population estimates, the combined population of these 100 counties is approximately 5.0–5.3 million people.

Data Commons
+1
A few observations that help put that in context:

That's only about 1.5% of the U.S. population.
The average county on this list has only ~50,000–53,000 residents

White left leaning people rely heavily on emotions and are influenced moreso by media and Hollywood.
Both evil empires have majorly downplayed and villified the family unit and child bearing.

They made up for it by turning the education system into communist propaganda mills.

That's good reason to require HS and college mandatory courses based on books like The Black Book of Communism.

Liberals not reproducing might be a win, but the US as a whole is at or below replacement level in natural citizen births and that is not a great thing for the future of this country.

Christian conservatives have a lot of responsibility in this as well. They've fully embraced modernism and contraception and with the mass invasion of migrant 3rd world people who do not embrace the same modernism, they are the main ones reproducing (along with the minority poor) and these are the people who are filling our population deficits.

It's not shocking that this country cannot keep it's founding roots, it's literally being bred out of this countries population.

It's true. But will get worse before it gets better.

We're going to experience decades of historically unprecedented female bitterness. I don't see any way around it. Some male too, of course, but women are already dealing with historic levels of anxiety and depression.

In all seriousness, the hope is that as numbers grow, more and more of them will be honest about their misery in talking to younger women, rather than the "I'm living my best life!" performative stuff (while screeching at people in public and just generally being absolutely insufferable to normal people).

Abortion is a massive variable that went unaddressed. Studies are a joke.

Just based on the locations, I'd wager that almost every county on that list ranks near the very bottom in the US in education and poverty levels and near the top in welfare recipients with lots of kids.

The exact places where high birth rate isn't really the best thing even if they waddle in from their trailers and vote MAGA.
