      I’d never actually thought of it that way but, holy shit, that’s pretty damned close!

        You can always move to North Korea if you don’t like capitalism that much.

          Why do we have to go to the extreme. The scandanavian countries are socialist/capitalist countries and they have one of the best living conditions.

            Those countries are all below replacement level too though. This is a problem that’s affecting almost every country in the world, not just the US. In fact the US has been able to avoid the problem for a while because of immigration but even that’s not able to keep the replacement level up anymore.

              But there are currently, in the United States, right now, too many people. We need less people to be born so there are less people, and we need it to continue for probably 30 years.

          This is like if a guy starving in the desert complained he wants water and you offered to toss him into the middle of the ocean.
