🇺🇸 AMERICA GROWS OLDER WHILE THE YOUNG FADE OUT

The U.S. just hit a record median age of 39.1.

Since 2020, the over-65 crowd surged by 13 percent while the number of children dropped.

Eleven states now have more seniors than kids.

That includes Maine, Florida, and Oregon.

What does this mean?

Well, get ready for rising pressure on healthcare, fewer workers, supporting the important debate over declining birthrates.

Some call for more babies to save the economy, but the costs of parenting keep rising.

The U.S. needs to pay attention

Fewer Americans are choosing to have children.

The youth gap is no longer a warning.

The slaves aren't starting families? What did they think was going to happen? They lie to us. They spy on us. They brain wash us rather than educate us. They pay hard workers a small fraction of what filthy rich CEO's get. They tax our paychecks before we get paid and then tax anything we buy and if we don't buy anything then they tax our pretaxed savings by inflation. Homeownership is out of reach. Retirement is out of reach. The money is fake. The game is rigged. People are protesting by not perpetuating the problem. By not reproducing into this clown world without a fair start. People are opting out.

Nailed it!

All by design because a smaller population is easier to control. It's the Banker's 120 year currency cycle on a particular region before they move on and repeat it again.

This is a not unexpected consequence of soft, depreciating money, and the decline of all institutions that traditionall support marriage and families. I’m not sure if that is correlation or causation between the two.

Regardless, 95+% of people aren’t even aware of this. I work in a company that is a vendor in schools. All we see is declining enrollments, closures, and consolidations, but my fellow employees still think it is booming like the 90s.

Most ignorance is willful, and cherished by its holders.
