Let it be noted that the US population more than doubled in the same time period (1950-2018, from 150m to 325m, vs 1.4b to 4.5b). So 215% vs 310%.

- mc32 8y agoWhile true, that was not driven by natural native growth whereas in Asia it was. Not only that but the base pop was already very large, so a trebbling is significant. For instance Belize tripling its pop now is no big deal, Bangladesh tripling its pop is a huge problem, maybe catrastrophic.
