U.S. Fertility Rate Falls to Record Low. Fewer babies were born in the U.S. in 2023 than any year since 1979
About 3.59 million children were born in the U.S. in 2023, a 2% drop compared with 3.66 million in 2022. Photo: LM Otero/Associated Press American women are giving birth at record-low rates. The total fertility rate fell to 1.62 births per woman in 2023, a 2% decline from a year earlier, federal data released Thursday showed. It is the lowest rate recorded since the government began tracking it in the 1930s. |

We need nationalism . This globalism is depressing and it’s destroying our country. Our government needs a complete overhaul.

Boomers will gloat how this is a good thing as their borders are kept wide open to their grandchildren's replacements. No one on the mainstream right is talking about demographics, but the democratic party already did the math a decade ago. Why do you think so much of their platform is "fuck whitey"?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By phungus: But stupid people are still breeding like rabbits… Because all the educated liberal women are aborting their babies to focus on "studying' and their careers. 930,000 of those 3.6 million births are aborted. Half of them are black babies though. I'm guessing that's just ghetto birth control. Higher education of women = lower birth rates across the board. There is no western country that is even meeting the minimum birth rate for a stable population, much less to get population growth. Virtually all of the worlds population expansion over the next 30 years will be from 8 Muslim and African countries. |

Out of 4 lids my parents had, were the only ones with kids with 2 aiming for 2 more.
Reasons for not having kids include: We're not ready Kids are expensive It's just not the right time For those who are enjoying life kids can seem like the end of things. As cliche as it is to say, it really is a new beginning that you won't understand until you go through with it. |

As a result of the years of lower birth rates, coupled with mass global ‘immigration’, the world as we know it, culturally, politically & religiously, is changing rapidly.

I waited too long and missed the boat on having kids. I wasted my younger years chasing worldly things that weren't worth catching and in 30 or so years I'll likely be dying alone in shitty nursing home, unable to understand what language the workers are speaking.

As cliche as it is to say, it really is a new beginning that you won't understand until you go through with it. A lot of people also believe you should be married before having kids, but don't want to be married. And for men in particular, a divorce with children can end up being a crushingly expensive and lopsided event. |

I am chasing after women. Let's see if any of them agree that a women's place in society is to keep the house clean and raise the children.
I know plenty of women that choosed a career over a family now they are all depressed because they do not have a family. |

Oh yea, bottom feeders and illegals… You don't understand. Normal people having children is what will change that, socially speaking. If you refuse to have children then you are simply making that problem worse. In nature, challenges are meant to force you to overcome them, not give up and die. |

The employees should force the government into passing laws that require everyone to get paid the same, no matter effort or skills. A TIG welder is no more valuable to society than an Amazon order picker. And people should need to improve their skills to get paid more, that's the big lie of the "American dream". |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By phungus: But stupid people are still breeding like rabbits… That’s not exactly breaking news considering 87% of the population is stupid. Seriously, even the average person is dumb as hell. I’ve always scored between 85-90th percentile on various exams such as IQ tests, ASVAB, SAT, CAT, etc. And I don’t even consider myself all that smart. I like to think I have an above average intelligence and common sense. But I know people who are extremely intelligent, well beyond my capabilities. And I also know people who are rather dumb. But what I’ve come to realize the older I get is that’s not a static scale or representation of the population. Someone who’s 50th percentile isn’t necessarily just “average” intelligence. They are simply the median intelligence. Big difference. Someone with average intelligence is probably around the 80th percentile. And that leaves a whole lot of people that are really fucking stupid. And they vote and breed just like everyone else. |

I wouldn't be surprised if all forms of birth control, and abortions are outlawed in my lifetime. No babies = no future nation for the rulers to rule over.
There is a conversation that needs to happen on the top of society that nobody wants to have. The little people that work for a living dont have much say in this, we only respond to the environment we live in. And this environment is less that fruitful. Equilibrium will always be found. |
