Why is it critical that BYU signs a QB recruit for 25? They brought in Hillstead

One other interesting outcome of the impact of having less children

Talk to Japan & Italy about that. Low birth rates threaten their economies.

China is nearing a tipping point on the 1 child policy. It'll be 3-4 years and we'll see bad effects there.

Tokolosh

The folly of the 1 child mandate is a real problem for China. Myopic political

Forzaitalia

2:57pm

The irony is that the policy was unnecessary. They scrapped it years ago, but

Once it changed the culture, the policy itself was probably irrelevant

I don’t even think it did that. China is just like everyone else now. It didn’t

Maybe, but it probably accelerated it and locked it in at one, instead of two

Based on the data from each time period is this really a surprise?

Russia also has a negative birth rate. That’s fueling Putins push for more

I'd be happy to give putin something he can do.
