Nah. If USA returns to its senses we are going to need tons of tradespeople to build all the stuff we need for the billion Americans.

  It seems unlikely there will be a billion Americans. Population growth is 0.3% and will likely decline further as native FTR declines.

  > If USA returns to its senses we are going to need tons of tradespeople to build all the stuff we need for the billion Americans You're missing the /s? The only thing that has been keeping the US population from declining is immigration, and the US isn't exactly the most welcoming country anymore.

    Fairly sure last year was the first year of US population decline in a long time.

      Yes. Because until now it was propped up by immigration — and mostly legal immigration — which has dropped precipitously.
