@belstar1128 I dont think people really understand the fertility rate collapse that has hit latin america. I mean when I was born in 1975 Mexican women were have 5 to 6 kids each. Now they dont even have 2. That same thing is repeated all through the Americas. I think there are only a few small countries that have positive fertility rates in the Americas.

There are single moms and then there are divorced moms. The two arent the same. But yes in certain communities single moms are the norm. But they only exist because the government can afford deficit spending. As that fails, and it is starting to, all of those single moms and their offspring will starve. Women replaced husbands with Uncle Sam.

@marcospaulo5390 The problem with that is the rate of change and the current debt load most of these nations have. Take Japan. In a few years its national debt will force a sovereign default. At that time, every Japanese person who is on any sort of social pension fund will lose access to their nationalized retirement fund and health care. And with no one to give them loans, because of the default, that means no energy that they buy on credit. So the country falls back into the medieval ages. This is going to happen to a lot of nations. And is one of the main reasons why Japan's political class agreed to the humiliating deal President Trump offered them and then when Biden was elected they told Biden that they were perfectly happy with it as well. This will happen to nation after nation and happened to several last year but people seem to have forgotten already. World economics is about to implode and folks dont understand that. Cities will be death traps. Like Rome when the dole was late. The cities will burn.

@peterwindhorst5775 those dont work. I mean with everyones birth rates dropping where do you get immigrants from? With debt piling up and less workers to pensioned people where do you get the money to give tax breaks for children? Not that giving people money to have kids has ever worked any place its been tried.

@Nobody90019 Thats the ugly side of this whole issue. We do know why this is happening. So to fix it you just have to reverse it. I only know of a handful of people who openly talk about this. You want to get fertility rates back up, disempower women. Though I dont think its the empowerment that causes the underlying issue. I think its the relative difference between Men and Women . Women want a man who is much "better" than them as a mate. In modern context the better is largely economic. Feminism conflicts with this biological want.

@alexandrabellerose3550 I retired at 45.I dont have millions. I live a small quiet rural life with my sons. Convinced my brother and my elderly mom to move here too. I have acres I farm with animals enough for all of us to eat and a little to sell to neighbors. My brother works a local job for have the wage he got from where he came and at the end of the month he has 3 times the money left over after bill. My mother, being elderly gets SSI, which will be cut 20 odd percent in 2033. This farm is my retirement plan. Family. Even if I dont get a cent from SSI. I have my own investments and the pittance the VA as well, as three pensions from companies I have worked for. But take all that away, and i can still farm. And we might be poor, but we will be fine. Individuals will not be able to navigate whats coming. Families will. Unfortunately many families lack the social cohesion to be functional. Get your family together, go find some cheap farm land and learn about it. Make it a fall back point. Just make sure is more than a 3 days walk from any major city. If your family is non functional find a friend whose family is and try to hang on to them. But if something like this happens the economy will fall apart and be rebuilt in local communities established more on trust and a mans word. It wont be some asshole at a nameless back you are fucking over if you dont pay what you own, it could be the family of the boy your daughter wants to marry. That changes how people act. But most of all, people are going to have to start living smaller again. And the little things that most people ignore today will be the very things that carry them through hardships.

@phoenixtoash2396 I'm not sure what you mean by "we". But I won't starve, I'm a farmer.

This is a "community" problem. You want people to pair up, they really have to know each other. They have to spend time with each other, like in elementary, middle and high school. They get to know each other. Or before there were schools working and playing together as young people. But then modern society explodes those communities and people go all over the country to other schools to get even more education, work or military service. Our current society is set up destroys communities. And it destroys those ties that bind us together. All for the hope of a few bucks more. Only when people are older do they really understand that. And then its to late.

@Caligula-qr2ik both nations fertility rates are dropping and have been dropping year over year for the last 40 years. If that is "stable" to you, well, I think we differ on what that words definition is. Venezuela's fertility rate has been dropping about 1% a year. Argentina about 0.6%. And again, for both, that goes back to the late 70s early 80s. That eventually leads to a negative fertility rate, which both are now on the cusp of.

Famine isnt going to be what brings down this system. It will be debt. When many nations can no longer sell bonds to buy whatever via debt, their nations, and economies will implode. Debt will be this societies pale horse.

@sulaak There was not a famine in the US in the 1930s. The government destroyed tons of food to keep market prices stable enough so that more farmers didnt go bankrupt. People has less calories in the US during WWII than the great dustbowl. Food shortages does not equal famine.

@user-wr3vt8uq4s 74% of Americans are obese or overweight. Half of them wont even make it to 50. A very large minority of women are so mentally unstable that they cannot be in public unmedicated. When the medical system breaks, and it will break, millions will start to die. This says nothing for the millions of diabetics or people who have transplants. They will just die quicker though. Anyone who is in a city at that point is just wrong.

@IsaiahMiguel the only blame boomers have is they had the opportunity to address a lot of the problems and didnt. Their generation had the numbers to effect political change. They chose the status quo. They didnt start the problems though.

@NormieNeko Its funny you mention trade. Germany is a good example of this. Right now they are exporting all their chemical plant to the US, since they no longer can afford to do it in Germany because Russian natural gas is gone. Its a waste product in the US. A lot of nations are going to go through this in the next two decades as populations collapse and resources just simply stop being produced.

People only are working as hard now because they know there is an end to it. If there is no end, a significant amount of people will just give up. They are already in our society today. They are the homeless. The drug addicts. The neets. You going to force these folks to work? Some people will take the bullet just to spite the society that lied to them. Its why I avoid the cities.
