If a civilization finds that systematically supporting the creation of the next generation of citizens is just too expensive, it won't find itself a civilization for much longer.

- dv_dt 8y agoI just find it ironic that the people on the right screaming in fear of immigration, are also allied with the ones causing a huge concentration of wealth, driving poor economics, and lower fertility of people already settled in first world nations. I'm ok with our nation as a melting pot, I think we end up stronger for it in the mix, but when you combine demographics with Ebenezer Scrooge capitalism it ends up with groups in nations on the tail of economic expansion are the ones who end up with expanded population.
