"U.S. birth rate continues to fall" https://www.npr.org/2026/04/09/nx-s1-5779627/birthrate-united-states-babies-immigration 710,000 fewer babies were born last year in U.S. compared with two decades ago The U.S. fertility rate continued its slide to historic levels, due to plunging teen pregnancies and far more women delaying motherhood into their 30s and 40s. In 2007: 4.2 million babies were born In 2024: 3.6 million babies were born

In Belgium we have this comics series called 'Blauwbloezen' (blue coats). The story line s about the civil war in the US. One of the main characters has a horse that instantly drops when someone calls 'Attack'.

Yeah, Trump is the symptom more than the problem. Warren's plan sounds a lot like central planning to me.
