The West’s growing epidemic of childlessness and depopulation will “fundamentally alter our societies” and impose “an existential economic crisis” on the United States that will cost the U.S. alone “quadrillions of dollars,” according to two new reports.

Despite decades of warnings about overpopulation, the United States and Europe have long had fertility rates below the replacement level of 2.1 children per family. The global population bust will lead to nations with lower GDP, higher welfare spending, fewer workers, less economic power — and, possibly, a shift away from a global order led by the once-Christian West to one overwhelmed by a growing Muslim population.

“If we are unable to address our fertility crisis, the U.S. will face an existential economic crisis driven by a steep decline in fertility rates — one that could have an impact measured in the quadrillions of dollars,” wrote Jesús Fernández-Villaverde in The American Enterprise, the monthly publication of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). “[Y]es, tackling fertility has an impact measured in discounted terms of quadrillions of dollars, not just small change like a miserly trillion dollars here or there.”

Awwwwwwwwww. The biggest parasites of all are losing their hosts. The youth of China really have it down in their revolution. Lay down flat and let it rot. Do as little as possible, since what's the point? It's one awesome way of fighting the system that no one can do anything about.

Gubment suffers from less tax payers and cannon fodder, but it will save non-breeders hundreds of thousands, not to mention they'll have more discretionary time, and be a bit freer since obligation really does equal slavery. If you HAVE to do something, you are not free.

This is a great way to kick the oligarchs in the face, so to speak. So is the way of the Chinese youth. On the other hand Eastern and Western thinking are like night and day. Both have their good points and bad points. Occasionally hive mind thinking is actually good.
