One of the best things to love and hate about FR... you have to back up your posts, LOL... Let me see if I can find the source that I got that from...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_the_number_of_billionaires

Says 585 in US, and 31 in Sweden

31 : 10m = 3.1 per million
585: 330m = 1.77

The "twice as many" ratio is approximately correct, but my raw numbers of 14 and 7 per million were off (assuming the wikipedia data is correct). Thank you for challenging them for me.

Some other countries of note.... billionaires per 1m pop...

Germany 114 : 83m = 1.37

Hong Kong 67 : 7m = 9.57!!

Canada 39 : 37m = 1.05

Japan 33 : 136m = 0.24 (surprising)

Taiwan 31 : 23m = 1.35

Singapore 21 : 5.6m = 3.75

Indonesia 20 : 246m = 0.08 (ouch... but better than zero)

for many years Ireland was the last Western European country with a birthrate that would replace its population, and they may not even have that anymore.

Why is abortion being so heavily sold in Ireland?

[kearnyirish2]

I believe all countries in the EU gave up their independence, and Ireland was the last nut to crack for the New World Order that Hitler envisioned 80 years ago (a godless Europe led by Germany). Ireland didn’t even legalize divorce until 1997, and recently legalized not just abortion but “gay marriage” as well. They want to be Americans, and now they are - with all that implies.

For what its worth, Northern Ireland doesn’t allow abortion or “gay marriage” - and the same forces are at work to change that.
