These demographics are why the GOP supports all forms of immigration, they need workers for the businesses they invest in.
Careers, and pets are great replacements for being homemakers, and mothers for the ladies today. Will that dog be there for you when you are on your death-bed? When your biological time clock stops ticking, will you just say, oh well, no kids for me?
Let it be known that White women destroyed America.
A finance writer that I like, William Bernstein, wrote an example many years ago that illustrates the problem of too many old people and not enough workers.

...Imagine, if you will, a desert island on which there are only five inhabitants—four workers and one older retired person. Each of the four workers does several odd jobs: growing various foodstuffs, building shelter, providing rudimentary medical care, and the like. The medium of exchange is coconuts. Every month, each of the four workers gives a few of his coconuts to the retiree.
One day, one of the remaining four workers turns sixty-five and decides that he, too, wishes to retire. If he does so, instead of each worker supporting 0.25 retirees, each would be supporting 0.67 retirees. Not only that, but the total GDP of the island would fall by 25%; so would per capita GDP. What do you suppose the response of the remaining three workers will be to an apparently healthy-looking colleague who demands that they support his idleness?
Let us further assume that the candidate-retiree has planned for his nonproductive years by accumulating a disproportionate number of the coconuts. In doing so, he has done nothing to increase the productivity of the island. Now that he must spend the coconuts, the island will find an increased number of them chasing 25% less goods and services. The result is a predictable bear market in coconuts and dramatically more expensive goods and services.
Worse yet, to the extent that he has planned ahead and saved, he sows social discord, for even if he himself has accumulated enough coconuts to counteract the effects of higher prices, he has raised prices for everyone else in the process.
This example was not arbitrarily chosen. The 4:1 and 3:2 ratio of workers to retirees is about what was the case in 1990 and what will be the case in 2050, respectively.
In an era when a small number of people lived past sixty-five, society could easily support them for the very few years they survived beyond that point. Now that citizens are routinely living two decades longer, it is simply not mathematically possible, let alone politically feasible, to expect each worker to support 0.67 retirees, no matter how many coconuts, dollar bills, stock certificates, or Krugerrands they save up in the meantime. It is also not reasonable to expect productive younger individuals to support large numbers of healthy older non-workers...
So what? Judging by the ANTIFA spawn that infests America’s colleges and is now rioting all over the place, I don’t think we are missing much.
I’ll volunteer to do MY part!.................
Well, the inescapable fact is that having children has become way too expensive for a lot of working-class people. You either have to be financially well-off, or be popping them out on government assistance, because it’s ‘marginally profitable’ to do so.
Same with the fact that most folks in the western world no longer live on farms, where the more children you have, the more farm workers you eventually have.
Yes, I know I have grossly overs-simplified things, but I think most people get the point. Vague assurances about full quivers and “G-d will Provide” aren’t really things that most people, who can’t pay their bills, are prepared to accept on faith these days.
Considering what’s going on in America now, fewer children might be a blessing in disguise. In 10-15 years the female babies now will be sporting burqas, and having forced clitorectomies, and how is that a good thing?
Young White women = the most ‘woke’ and biggest traitors to our cause.
This is actually good news. In general, Americans are raising the most entitled, the most arrogant, the most ignorant, weakest people on the planet. Immigrants tend to have a better grip on reality, and a much better work ethic.
This doesn’t look good for white America, but that’s ok. Whites have had their run, and now have taught their children to loathe anything associated with white America, including themselves.
Immigrants will make America strong. LEGAL immigrants, not open borders.
Thanks to modern feminism and its inherent male-bashing toxicity, a man merely looking at a woman the “wrong” way, or complimenting some aspect of her appearance or personality (to say nothing of gentlemanly courtship with the intent to form a life-long, stable marriage that includes children), can destroy his career and ruin the rest of his life. It’s simply not worth it and he knows it.
Feminism is winning.
Yeah, will maybe it’s because we not only have to support our own families, we have to support so many others too via massive taxes that pay for other people who don’t contribute to the tax base to have as many children as they wish.
Had two, wanted four, husband said we can’t afford it (he was right) and that was the end of it. Regret it to this day...
While that doesn’t portend well for the future, I can’t blame someone for not wanting to bring children into this rapidly declining country.
Not for our guests from South of the border. They’re doing great.
Kids used to be useful to the parents as they aged but not much anymore. The kids were needed back then, especially the men. Now they are merely desired (or not desired).
