When people with jobs have lots of children, economies boom. When taxes get so high that fewer working people have children, economies stagnate and decline. The birth rate of White Americans has dropped to about half of all children being born.
Democracy being what it is, the larger proportion of non-working people will be able to transfer more income from working people to themselves.
At the same time, unprecedented automation and robotics have reduced the number of jobs in every area. This means even fewer children.
In the Middle Ages, many of those made unemployed by the progress of the times (larger, more efficient farms, bigger ships needing fewer sailors per ton transported, etc.) were absorbed into monasteries and convents. There, countless requests were made to God for help and guidance.
The Culture of Death has worked to be sure that prayer, as a way of life, would be replaced by promiscuity and earthly concerns. The once-Christian nations are no longer growing closer to God. We are falling farther from Him and His guidance.
While the end is not in sight, we can see by the falling demographics of Japan in the 1950s that stagnation is a generation behind.
As the baby-boomers begin to pass, many are finding that they have to work ’til they drop. More and more have virtually no retirement funds. This keeps younger families from being formed, and accelerates the birth dearth. Things can’t get better until more young people have more children. Most are too concerned with their electronic devices to understand.
Instant, mass communication between individuals keep those involved concentrated on the present. “Staying in touch” with what’s going on replaces staying in touch with the future in the only way possible way, having children. We know far more about the activities of others than necessary, and too little about the yawning, empty chasm in front of us.
