In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

define "enough kids" for me please.

do you mean enough kids that their parents can't feed them off their own little farm, and the kids had to be sent to the cities as slave / poor workers, so that the machines can keep churning for the sake of profit?

edit: sorry but i'm pissed and angry now. "not enough kids" like what? not enough kids to make sausage of them? not enough kids to burn them in the kettle of capitalism? not enough kids to flood the labor market with undervalued workers?

i tell you what, it's capitalist propaganda that "people should have more kids", because they think it makes the wages fall. what it actually does is create poverty, mass unemployment, working poor, and civil unrest. may the empire be intoxicated by its own poison. may the corporations fall due to the civil unrest that they helped create.

Like the birth rate was too low overall.

Of course more people makes wages fall. That's why immigration is so popular in western world.
