What's interesting when you look at birthrate declines is not that they are declining, it's that they are declining to NORMAL LEVELS. Everyone is freaking out that the next generation won't be big enough to support retiring Boomers without understanding that there should never have been so many Boomers in the first place.
its literally in their name too: 'baby boomers'. too many in too short a time and they have dominated politics for the better part of a century now
