Seems like a problem that will solve itself eventually, admittedly with much collateral damage.

  Well no, unfortunately. Gerrymandering remains a massive problem that tips the scales in favor of more rural areas even as their population dwindles, leaving more power in the hands of fewer individuals. And often the people that suffer the most are the ones with the least opportunity.

  As a recent kerfuffle about one of Louisiana's senators (Cassidy) shows: if you slice the data by race you'll see that the death rates for whites is closer to the rates of the States with good outcomes; the outcomes for black residents is much worse. In his case he was willing to point this discrepancy out, though he immediately blamed the victims. So if it sounds like it will sort itself out, it may end up doing so on the backs of the least enfranchised.

  Depends on the relative replacement rates. Could be a while.

  Longevity doesn’t matter for that, reproductive rate does (in addition to conversions), and it’s the opposite.
