FULL TITLE: Toys R Us says millennials not having kids hurt the company — and it could be because of a looming 'demographic time bomb'

Millennials are not like their parents.

Typically defined as those born from 1981 to 1996, millennials are more racially diverse and more college-educated and marry later than previous generations. Millennial women are also increasingly delaying parenthood or forgoing it altogether, as reflected by the US's declining fertility rate. Fertility hit a record low in 2016, bringing the rate among women ages 15 to 44 to 62 births per 1,000 women.

Many economists are wringing their hands about what this means for the US economy, since economic growth is harder when people don't have children.

Some say the US is at risk of becoming "a demographic time bomb," with fertility rates falling at a time when longevity is increasing. Japan — where 2017 marked a 118-year low for fertility at the same time people were living longer than ever before — is regarded as the poster child for this phenomenon.

Abortion, birth control, the cultural feminization of men, the chemical castration of men via estrogen emulators like soy, and the promotion of non-reproductive homosexuality and lesbianism have all contributed to the reduced birth rates.

And the 3rd world is coming to take all the goodies here, not to fund the old White people who will be unable to work to earn their living in the years to come. Quite a mess the government has gotten us into.

If their stuff came in an Amazon box, I doubt they’d be out of business.

And Muzzies are out numbering American births something like 8-1. There’s a chart that shows not only the threat but the inevitable slide into oblivion for caucasians.

Gee, maybe all those contributions to Planned Parenthood didn’t support the Toys R Us business plan.

Toys R Us has directly and indirectly contributed to abortion giant Planned Parenthood for decades. They hung themselves with the rope anti-life forces provided them.

They needed to expand so that both conservatives and progressives shopped there. Since progressive’s child replacements are illegal aliens, maybe offer toys/landscaping equipment.

And Muzzies are out numbering American births something like 8-1.

A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, "The River War", in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”

And

CONTRACEPTION

Back in 1968, Pope Paul VI said contraception could destroy marriage as an institution, souls, societies, nations, and civilizations.

People said he didn't understand the real world.

Now it turns out he was the only one who did.

“Birth control” = contraception

I am continually struck by how few pregnant women you see in any public gathering.

The law of averages says there should be much more.

And I agree with Pope Paul VI.

When I got married part of the condition of my marriage was that birth control was not an option. I’ll be blunt that I wavered about the idea but then when I found out that I was pregnant with twins it caused both an emotion commitment to my husband and a practical commitment to him.

It’s very politically incorrect to say this yet it is true all the same.

Children help bind a couple together. Divorce becomes all the much easier if there aren’t any kids.

In short, Pope Paul VI was a pretty wise man.
