Yeah, actually having the coefficient of 1.4-1.7 is OK: look at France or Germany: they had these values for nearly 40 years and the population only increases
I can't read other people's thoughts, sorry
Carlson really needs to interview John Stewart again.
Stewart pretty much destroyed his career the first time. He went from being a pretty well-respected CNN talking head to a corporate shill with a primetime slot on FOX to now being a blatant autocratic toadie and billionaires lapdog on a failed social media network.
As someone who saw the episode of Crossfire when it aired, it's been an interesting fall.
His bank account isn't hurting but he's basically fellating authoritarians while billionaires sit in the corner and watch at this point.
The bad part is Tuckypoo was born rich. His dad was the U.S. ambassador to the Seychelles and his stepmom is Caroline Swanson (the same Swanson TV dinner people) and the niece of Senator William J. Fulbright. He went to a private boarding school in Switzerland, he didn't need to sell his soul to eat and shelter his family or anything. He just did it out of greed and soulessness.
I don't know the guy personally but he really doesn't seem to have any redeeming qualities. He's a vile propagandist who'll say and do anything to push the agenda of his master. If Tucker had his way the history books would mention him on the same page as Goebbels.
Even if A implies B in a classic logic sense, having A in mind doesn't mean that one has B. If that wasn't the case, no propaganda machine would work.
Furthermore, concern about population decline could come from a legit fear that there won't be enough young people to fuel capitalism machine when one's old , or that reproduction decline has a good correlation coefficient with upcoming wars.
On the off chance that you're being sincere, you legitimately might be on the spectrum if you both fail to see and refuse to see the subtext here. Or perhaps you're Dutch.
You’ve been downvoted, but I agree. I always assumed that the worry about a shrinking population was because there wouldn’t be enough meat for the capitalism grinder, but now that it’s been pointed out, I definitely can see the racist implications of it.
A big driver of that population increase is war and climate refugees.
