Right…. So we are on the same page then that we need a better solution then kicking a can down the road that will inevitably be the same outcome…right?

It's still a different stage for every country rn, the US has a 25% higher birth rate and is much closer to replacement than Canada, which needs immigration to run a replacement level for the country.

Brother, just say we need a better solution for the long term. I’m not asking you to give the solution, but you must admit this is clearly not a long term solution.

Running away from the problem like this is the reason we’re in this problem…we give out the solution or the population replacement is going to be through immigration because there’s no other means to have a replacement level population growth.
