That's because of haredim who don't work much and have 8 kids per family. The secular birthright is very high too but they're being outnumbered.
Every group is gonna have their breeders, even if they don't directly contribute. Eventually some of those Haredi are gonna leave and do more than Torah all day. Even taking out the Haredi, Religious Jews have a birth rate of 4 per woman. That's 1 more on average child than American Mormons. The second biggest American Breeders (after the Amish). Also comparing Secular Jews to the Average American with a birthrate of 1.6(In 2024, can't find the Israeli post 2020) they're still higher by 0.4 children.

So what you're saying is to solve the the global fertility crisis we just need women to go back to being illiterate? Sounds like a good solution, outside of Frankenstein they never wrote much worth a shit anyways.
the women are literate and they are the ones who work

Boomers still believe in the infallibility and credibility of institutions like media, academia, legal system. Basically if the television hates Trump that must mean he's bad.

Ran into a bit of this, this afternoon. Friend of mine still believes very blatantly obvious bad information about Elon and what DOGE in general is doing. I mean, I'm still friends with them, but I still think they're being fucking retarded. He's very obviously been infected with the "ORANGE MAN BAD" TDS. Honestly, I'm kind of over people close to me being retarded over politics, because once you realize it's all just opinions and us (as the peasant class) can't really affect anything on a really large level it's just ..I dunno. Seems kind of worthless to flip out at someone over.
 
So the thread is acting like a slow-moving, politics-themed genchat with a few specific topic bans. Which is very comfy and a nice experience while you're keeping up with it, probably better than an actual chat. It's just a shame that it makes the thread completely fucking unusable in retrospect. Sometime during the second week of his presidency, Trump said he would be talking about the 2020 election the following Monday, specifically about Georgia. He didn't follow up on this, and I wanted to find the original statement, probably on Truth. Google was absolutely no help. I know that it was posted in this thread because that's where I saw it, it's probably even archived, but I'd have to comb through dozens of pages to find it, and I didn't feel like putting in the work.
I don't mind this tbh unless it's a bunch of sperging out about the dating scene like this thread likes to do. I really wish there was in depth US politics threads like this one for all recent Presidents, Obama especially. It's a fantastic way to keep a record of all the US happening in a nice and coherent space. I love having a thread that followed Joe Biden's Presidency from day 1 to day 1,463, Literally anything you need to know about those 4 years is there in order. It's priceless really.

It is nice and I did try it, but on-site searches often seem to either return zero posts or most of a thread. In a thread like this, you'd need to be able to do stuff like restrict date ranges, and maybe I'm just a retard but it seemed like you can't combine those options to do that on a thread search.

Do you think we will see the Haredi be forced to be conscripted? I've always found it fascinating that there is a whole caste of people that just have different rules/laws like that.

your graph shows the birthrates of Religious Jews declining, and this was a chart from 3 years ago, before October 7th happened and all of the shenanigans since. Also knowing Israel it wouldn't surprise me if they're lying about their birthrates to try and act like the country isn't suffering in population since it is now Majority Muslim again. Add in the fact that their neighbors have much higher birthrates than them, yeah I think they're screwed.

The light blue is religious Jews. They've stuck pretty close to 4 for decades.

I don't know and neither do you. The economist article where I got the graph says they see toy stores everywhere. While in the America they're closing. That's something very hard to fake, if they do have a thriving "toy" market (not funko pops).
since it is now Majority Muslim again.
Maybe their Muslim population was really big, and they were breeding really fast to boot.

Maybe. You can't deny they've got a bunch of bombs and they aren't afraid to use them.

Since when is it majority Muslim? 20 percent of the population are arabs and there's currently a baby boom
 
I mean...what can I expect from the guy who unironically defends people like Daniel larson and Chris chan, even when they're shown doing awful shit with no inputs from trolls?
Dude, can you atleast give a tl;dw because I am not going to listen to an obese bald reddit soybeard looking faggot. Low quality post, consider working out and fucking a girl.
 
Why is Trump so obsessed with Tarrifs. Pretty much all his rich donors hate them.

To steel man the Trumpian position, He will put tarrifs on foreign goods, then domestic competitors to those goods will start making these things and paying Americans to do so. In turn the American consumer base will have more money to buy things and there will more robust internal competition and then prices will lower.

The issue is though, this isn't the 1800s when the foreign goods were tables,tea pots or wagon wheels that any old idiot can make in his garage modern consumer goods require tons of specific manufacturing , speculation and economies of scale.

Also it avoids the main issue. The main issue with cost of living in America isn't the price of consumer goods that is something America has or ate lest had better then almost any other country. The main cost of living issue is housing prices. The average American spends half their income on rent or their mortgage if you could bring that down it would help so much more and less money goes to these sort of bare necessity purchases and more goes to well consumer goods. The issue with that is one his corporate buddies don't want it but even besides that the boomers don't want it. They depend on the cost of housing staying high so they can take out HELOCS forever

America's main economic power was that the US dollar was a valuable currency so foreign companies wanted to sell to the us consumer to get more of dollars. With Tarrifs America will lose that and it's soft power.

The real reason he likes Tarrifs is 2 fold. One he thinks foreign countries are literally stealing from America which we talked about and they are a power he can implement without any sort of approval. I have said before that Trump fetishizes power by itself and less so what he can do with it.

It is better to be ruled by someone who is evil but good at like Putin or Xi then a retard like Trump or Nicholas Maduro

It's pretty easy to explain. The only reason China currently works is because their garbage is cheap, which means cheap labor or materials. There is a problem that exists in emerging industrial economies that thrive due to low labor costs. Eventually the influx of capital causes labor to wonder why they work for peanuts while the bosses make a shitton.

This happened in the 1920/30s in America and literal illiterate italians and irishmen started causing a fuss. How do you think it's gonna go with the entire population raised on Mao? Poor countries trying to industrialize have faced this issue again and again, because a rising standard of living means a rising labor cost, which means your poor neighbor is now more attractive for manufacturing. And if you can no longer sell your product at an insane markup due to low export prices you're fucked. The only issue is China regularly manipulates their currency to an insane degree which needs to be fixed via a few threats on turning off all food exports to China until about 10% of their population starve or get stomped to death trying to rush for a sack of soybeans.

All the people that I hate politically, that hate me politically, and actively work against American interests hate tariffs. Tariffs, therefore, are directionally correct and the more non-Americans and anti-Americans cry like faggots about them, the more I assume they're the correct action. If tariffs were actually bad for America, why would the small dicked Han Shinajin and the turbo faggot Euros be crying so damned hard about them? Out of the deepness of their concern for the American people, no doubt, so selfless.

America's main economic power was that the US dollar was a valuable currency so foreign companies wanted to sell to the us consumer to get more of dollars. With Tarrifs America will lose that and it's soft power.
And that's a problem, America's main economic power should be leveraging our vast natural resources into actually producing things, not moving money and service. Tariffs encourage this, which is why the niggerfaggots of the world want America to stop talking about them. Every Chinaman, every Euro, every inferior brownoid that screeches about tariffs wants America to remain an economic zone they can plunder, like a richer version of Canada.

They hate Child porn to, Chin,Israel,Iran everyone who works against American interest ban childporn and I think in Iran it's punishable by death do you support child porn now to ?

I agree with you I really do but America can't do that because our resources are not nationalized and nationalizing them would require doling out so much in compensation if it's even legally possible. I am not saying we should just copy the Chinese model we need to play to our strengths and our natural resources could be one such strength. There is no way for the natural resources to be a source of power for the state and a consistent profit earner for corporations.
