China's Demographic Time Bomb and America's Economic Future

[@somebodyimportant3490]

A couple days ago, some guy drove his car into a tree in my front lawn and was knocked unconscious. An episode of this podcast was playing in the car

[@lorenzom7237]

Was he sleeping?

Only thing I have to contend with is that... China's working age population actually peaked in 2012 by even official data (earlier by others, such as demographer Yi Fu Xian). There are/were echoes of that 2012 peak such as less children (dependents) of the current age population means more room to take care of the elderly (dependents)... but that is quickly fading as each year there are less and less. So there are/were echoes but they are ending currently.

Thanks for sharing such valuable information! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

Declining productivity and a massive public sector are the big factors that effect the outlook over the next 10 years. The A bump is not going to boost the output offsetting demographic trend

The population of Europe after the black death dropped to one-third. Many studies suggest that children and young adults were particularly vulnerable due to weaker immune systems or lack of prior exposure to similar diseases. Mass graves from the period show evidence of high mortality among younger populations, likely because they were less equipped to fight off the infection.

On policing, I think his analysis is inadequate. There are many ways to suppress crime, most of which I think don't involve more policing. For example, assisting addicts with their addiction so they don't have to go steal; or keeping kids in school because that's where they get fed, etc. So public policy insofar as community crime is concerned is very complicated, and even the public isn't sympathetic to welfare measures. Corporate crime, monopoly behavior, labor-busting crime, is another story altogether. The whole topic is super complicated and doesn't lend itself to great economic-based simplifications. On the economic stuff he does really well. Economics isn't really that complicated.

Really good overall except regarding how China can improve. The way you increase your populations standard of living is making things and exporting. The whole world is funding China through trade deficits and they are getting rich.

[@eden5260]

That isn't how a trade deficit works mate . The government is rich The people there are poor The west is being subsidised by Chinese workers

[@theburden9920]

We can theorize all we want but in reality we have no solution to the demographic crisis. all we know is that it is going to change our society

[@Kevriyal5654]

How has the stimulus done for the US. 80% of people are struggling financially while about 10% are rich.

[@loicthierry7158]

To weaken the dollar, why trying to increase the Chinese currency and not the EURO?

Population needs to be in balance with jobs, resources, nature and the environment. Having a bigger population in any country than the country can support makes no sense. Access to food, water, shelter, energy and jobs should guide population levels. The worlds population is still expected to add another billion people to feed, clothe and produce pollution. Humans are crowding out all other species of plants and animals. Education and birth control are key to reducing poverty and hunger. Having a child that you can not provide for yourself is cruel and irresponsible. We need solutions not just sympathy. Endless population growth is not sustainable on a finite planet. Every country needs to "TRY" to be more self sufficient. When there are not enough resources to sustain a population something has to give. Countries need to focus on quality of life for their citizens and not just quantity of life for cheap labor. Why import fossil fuels when wind and solar energy can be produced locally and solar energy can power electric vehicles. We need solutions not just sympathy.

Americas economic future depends on its policies....
