Air_Delivery Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Boomers give no job security to anyone and then wonder why they aren't having grandkids. They can fuck off and get COVID on their cruise to the Bahamas for all I care. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I don't have a WSJ sub, but putting that number in context with the rest of the world and it seems like the US isn't doing too bad, at least compared to our economic rivals. If the economy bounces back and we can get over the pandemic, that'll help a lot. We also can basically increase our population at will if we just open up the immigration gates (though that would require some serious political shifts). For my part, I'll happily identify as part of the "problem." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this sounds like a job in education! Unfortunately we value people who chase balls much more than we do our educators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarSolo Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Considering I slept my way through my one ex’s med school class and a bunch of UPenn women from 2011-2014, I’m pretty sure I did my part because I’m pretty sure my ability to put on a condom while blacked out was pretty sad.

It’s going to be annoying when they start campaigning on liberal woke culture not allowing children to be born to grow our workforce while simultaneously still doing the same immigration panic shit.
