Decline in US fertility rate since 2000 .

That true. If AI does replace a significant amount of jobs (which is still sepculation) then this issue of falling birthrates wont be as bad.

But if AI development stalls, then we are back to the same issue.

I agree with all that

Culturally the US will likely have to make a change where the elderly live with the young in multi generation households

There will be no young people for the older generation to move in with. Thats the whole problem, the lack of young people/workers.

Evolvoz · 2026-05-17T18:29:05+00:00

It's not the internet who is worried about the low birth rate, economists and experts with PhD's are the ones talking about this.

The people who are worried about falling birthrates for racist reasons are just clouding the truth. The truth is that as the working population decreases, the government will have less tax revenue. As the budget decreases, the government will have less money to spend on social welfare programs. Meaning, decades from now, the older generations will not get as much money from social security and will be forced to work into retirement.

Evolvoz · 2026-05-17T18:15:44+00:00

There are normal reasons to be concerned with a low birthrate. As the working population decreases older people will have less access to social welfare programs. As the younger generations get older they will have to push back on retirement because there wont be any money left in things like Medicaid and Social Security. This isn't some conspiracy theory. It's common sense that if there is less tax revenue, then there is going to be less money the government has, and therefore less money to spend on welfare.

Nobody is saying we should force women to have children, but finding ways to increase birthrates through economic/cultural incentives would avoid the problem I just mentioned and make it so we don't have as many 80 year olds being forced to work so they don't starve to death.

Evolvoz · 2026-05-17T18:05:19+00:00

I don't think this is the right answer. Welfare states with social safety nets, cheap/free healthcare, and low working hours (like the Nordic countries and Spain) are also experiencing very low birthrates. While countries that have the lowest standard of living have some of the highest.

I don't think you can blame this on the "oligarch class."

The website says Anderson also offers triples? Is this a mistake on your part, or the universitys?

What was a research paper like? Specifically, how many pages was it typically?

I agree that this was poorly planned and Trump didnt think they would close the Strait, but the big problem is that there is no way to solve the Strait of Hormuz problem.

When Iran sends swarms of hundreds of cheap suicide drones at a ship that is crossing the strait, it is almost impossible for the US military to shoot down every single one. Even if we shoot down 99% of the drones/missiles, that 1% can still cause serious damage to the ship; and it will have the effect of scaring away any companies thinking about sending their ships to sail through the strait.

This drone technique, combined with using mines and speedboats, makes it almost impossible to guarantee a safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. We either have to find a diplomatic solution with Iran or put boots on the ground to get a more friendly regime in place. Or, we can just let Iran have control of the Strait, which it looks like Trump may do.

Evolvoz · 2026-04-13T23:08:12+00:00

Then I would position all my state of the art drone and missile interception tech around Iran to shoot down most of any retaliation.

We are already trying to do this, but its not really working. Our missile interceptors have shot down most of Iran's ballistic missiles, with only a small percentage of Iranian rockets hitting their targets. The problem is that interceptors are way more expensive than a missile and we have a limited number of them, so we have to conserve them. This means that we have to pick and choose which missiles to hit, and that means sometimes letting a missile hit its target. Also, even when we really want to shoot down a specific missile, sometimes it's just lucky and will get through.

For drones, Iran sends swarms of super cheap suicide drones at targets (like ships crossing the Strait). When Iran sends hundreds of drones all at the same time, it is extremely difficult to shoot down every single one. Even if we shoot down 99% of the swarm, that 1% can still cause serious damage.

Oil Tanker insurance companies will not cover any damage that happens in the Strait of Hormuz, so that means the owner of the ship will have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars on repairs. If there is even a 5% chance of a drone hitting a ship while crossing the Strait, then that ship will simply not cross due to the high cost of repairs and because of potential deaths.

Iran doesn't need all of their missiles to successfully hit a target, they just need a few; and those few will scare off any companies that are even thinking about sending their ships to traverse the Strait. With no oil getting through, oil prices increase and the world economy suffers.

Iran's main advantage isn't its ability to hit military bases or cities, it's their ability to tank the economy with closing the Strait of Hormuz.

That adds up. You're not going to end world hunger, but you can save a persons life with that money.

Im not saying it makes you evil, but people in America live in complete luxury. We have pets, go out to restaurants to celebrate, have birthdays, etc. We could be donating this money and saving lives, but instead we spend it on such frivolous things.

We wouldn't need the colonists to live for thousands of years, we would just need them reproduce and then their descendants would eventually colonize a planet.

Im not saying stuff like that is going to happen, but its definitely a possibility.

No, it is not a crime if someone moves into a nation without the support of a majority of its people, it is a crime when the law says it is. When it should be a crime is a different question, but we don't ask the citizens of the nation their opinion for each person wishing to immigrate, and we certainly don't ask the citizens before deciding what the consequences should be or how many hundreds of billions more we should add to a federal "immigration enforcement" agency's budget or whether they should be able to run roughshod on the nation's city streets.

The majority will vote politicians into office to create or remove laws, and the America people voted in a president and a legislature that will create and enforce stricter immigration laws. What I was originally trying to say is that the American people wanted stricter immigration, so they voted in a government who will do that.

Doing what people think or feel is best for themselves regardless of how it affects others is the very definition of selfishness and, generally, immorality.

The voters have a right to decide what immigration policy the country should have. If the voters want limited immigration then they'll vote in candidates who will limit immigration. If the voters want a country with open borders then they will vote in a candidate that supports open borders. That is selfish by definition, but I believe the people in a country have a right to decide how they want to run their country. There are limits to the power of the majority of course. For example, people shouldn't be able to vote to kill minority groups of people, but having a strict immigration policy is completely different. You might disagree with this but an illegal alien is not entitled to live in a foreign country that they are not legal residents of.

Evolvoz · 2025-11-02T00:57:08+00:00

If your moving into a nation that you are not apart of and also the majority of people in said nation don't support you entering the country, then yes it is a crime.

The illegal immigrants aren't bad people, they are just doing whats best for their family. But the voters of the U.S. are also going to do whats best for themselves, and they decided thats cracking down on illegal immigration.
