How many kids do the Somalis have?

[2banana]

Socialism + Christian hostility + abortion on demand = less and less children

Quick - import more Somalians

[Jmouse007]

Heavy taxes, massive, intentional influx of illegal aliens, liberal polices... people are leaving the state in droves.

Live in Limestone Me for 5 years back in the day before internet. Did you know you are require to have a dog license for your dogs.

The government won’t be able to take care of everyone for much longer.

I humbly disagree. The entire world depends on US fiat currency printed by the Fed. They have no good alternatives, and none appear to be on the horizon. We can run them at full speed and continue to print and spend, and nobody is going to say boo about it because the alternatives (a US economic collapse) are far, far worse for all of them.

The game of Three Card Monte is going to go on far beyond the end of my lifetime.

Simple, fertility rates are dropping for the same reason all sorts of other metabolic diseases are rising..

Endocrine Disrupters in the food and water chain, primarily from plastics.

Will take another 20 years or more for the science to finally admit the obvious.... Just like with tobacco.

People don’t get married because they can’t afford it, sex is readily available, people working too many hours, lack of interest in attending church. None of that leads to marriage and family.

I’ve noticed along that Route 1 up the coast, more and more mega mansions replacing the small cottages. I’ve been vacationing there since a little girl and the change is notable; it is becoming Martha Stewart country and that is NOT a good thing.

Maine then sounds like the place to go for prepping.

[KC Burke]

Darn nice place to visit. If I was wealthy, I would have a place there for the warmer months. Maybe a boat in Bath.

It all started with the fatalism and hedonism resulting from the carnage in WW I and then accelerated with WW II.

Mark Steyn laid it all out in his excellent “America, Alone.”

[BitWielder1]

Isn't depopulation exactly what the Left wants?

[Publius]

Maine ping.

[DEPcom]

Very hard winters there,... Winter starts in late Oct and last into early May...

[teeman8r]

does it stand to reason, if there was a baby boom seventy years ago, we would have a mass die in later?

[CaptainPhilFan]

LOL Hahahahah! Answered his own question:

“Whatever the cause, there are more people dying than babies being born to replace them. The only reason Maine isn’t decreasing in population is the large number of immigrants and asylum seekers who continue to arrive” .....

I’ll take “What happens when you import a lot of scum to your state for $2000, Alex”....

"I’ve been to Maine in the winter and it’s no picnic."

I've been in the summer. So many mosquitos, I almost didn't make it out.

[golux]

Well, our friend Kenny Bunk would agree that at least the yachting world is still intact.

My daughter lives in Maine for the time being and she says northern Maine is very much Trump country.
