Great article from City Journal

"One thing that stands out in the United States, however, is how fertility differs among the states—ranging from a low of 1.27 in Vermont to nearly replacement-level in South Dakota. Notably, the states with the highest birthrates are overwhelmingly Republican, and those with the…

We are going to need every high fertility State in America we can get

The U.S. birth rate is now at the lowest level ever recorded. This is not going to reverse anytime soon: There's a big decline in 18yo who want to have children, esp. young women. (From "The Future" chapter of *Generations.*)https://t.co/OmUr134wmS pic.twitter.com/VK6aJrDyIl

abortion on demand, no fault divorce, sterilizing adolescents for gender reassignment, etc......

We are doing an awful lot of things that mitigate fertility, so let's just let anyone who wants to walk across our border come and stay here, no visas required.

Multi generational households have been common in the third world for a long time.

You are already starting to see an increasing number of electric bicycles. People aren't riding these for exercise as they would a traditional bicycle. They are riding them as transportation given the increasing costs (insurance, gas, repair) of keeping a car on the road. My estimate is that as our collective standard of living continues to fall, you will see more "substitution" of cars with two wheel transportation. That's another feature of third world life, where those who can't afford a car ride motorcycles/scooters/bicycles or are relegated to public transport.

Hungary-like fertility policies flatly don't work.

Hungary has dedicated major resources to this - no taxes for 3+ kids, debt forgiveness, major subsidies for homes. It's actually equivalent to ~5% of their GDP. The US military is 3.2%, so big spending.
