I made a comment like that to my younger sister when I was just out of high school and you'd think that I had just burned the Bible in front of my father or something.

So...terrorism if economic demands are not met?

That is the sophistry part. It clearly was intended to be a higher level of oath that included the lower one. Watch: SCOTUS will say that the president actually doesn't have to support the Constitution.

I don't get it. I deleted my comment pretty much instantly when I realized I clicked the wrong link. If it's showing a comment for you, then that's an issue with the system.

Don't forget wars, now. Tropical brown people don't blow themselves up, dontcha know?

It worked one time on a minor, really. There may have been some other instances but we are hopefully more or less beyond that as a concept.

Not sure what you mean. The economic system is separate from the state.

so both wealthy and poor people have equally bad palates, gotcha

In every single one of these “depopulation crisis” articles the “maybe a shrinking population isn’t entirely a bad thing” perspective is always in a throwaway paragraph near the end, if it’s even mentioned at all.

That's because people aren't willing to leave the "babies are the super bestest things ever and if you are super happy then you're a horrible person" narrative.

Or perhaps fund adoptions? Those are just as expensive!

Two things:

1. Life sucks for a lot of people. Younger Gen X, Millenials, Gen Z all have had really hard times. Why would someone want to make their life harder?
2. The "declining" birth rates are actually returning to pre-Baby Boom levels. This is a fully natural thing.

What's funny is that I got downvoted over that lol.

I saw someone get downvoted into oblivion once for pointing out that a significant number of Asians don't need deodorant. I think that there are a lot of default-white types who can't think outside that.

You're not wrong there, but people are probably more worried about the Federal cases where this hasn't happened yet.

The sophistry here is that the presidential oath doesn't contain the word "support". It's complete bullshit but you never know with this SCOTUS.

There have always been more people entering than leaving lol.

lol this article

Our research indicates that this is all crap but here are 10 examples that say the opposite

Someone is trying to maintain a narrative.

I've been migrating away from Google, little by little. Drive is my next step, I think.

Well based off your own argument, we're as bad as dolphins lol.

Nobody is suggesting that you put a light rail out to the local farm. The urban area will be urban and the rural area will be rural. Where work is needed is connecting up the suburbs and ensuring that you can get to your places of work/school/etc without driving. Some cities never deconstructed themselves for cars (see SF/NYC) and are doing well. Other cities (see Cincinnati, OKC, etc) have room to grow.
