So, what does that mean besides fewer women are having children?

&lt;p&gt;An interesting area of study would be planning and managing within a declining population - all our models (and ways of thinking) are based on a model of growth of absolutely everything - well that is about to change. So instead of trying to lure people away from other countries maybe we need to look at planning with a declining population.  Japan is already facing some of these issues, but I am not able to find out much information on how they are doing long term planning (lack of ability to read any other language but English).  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are obsessed with our immediate  surrounding (and who could blame us), but the world is shifting under our feet and we are not that aware of the consequences.  I am sure if embrace reality we will make a better future.  I suspect that hiding you head in the sand and longing for the past will create a more abrupt change - but that change is coming whether you like it or not. I view this current obsession with blurring sexual roles as a response to a society that will not need the same level of population growth - maybe this movement is noting but a biological adaptation to the situation we as a species face.&lt;/p&gt;

Secondly, how are the young supposed to get together to form relationships that might lead to family formation in this current anti human mandated climate? Third, with the divorce rate and those laws biased towards women (80% of divorces are instigated by the woman), with cash and prizes awarded accordingly, marriage is just a very bad option for men and they know it. Relations between men and women are at an all time low and it has little to do with the girl power movement other than many women developing unrealistic expectations in what they expect from a male life partner. The manosphere didn&amp;#39;t come about because of nothing with many men now deciding to live their lives as free from unnecessary complications as possible....this would include women. Babies are not produced in such a climate other than by a minority of men that women find irresistible and these men do not commit pregnancy or not. &amp;nbsp;Anyway what does it matter if the numbers go down to other than those who&amp;#39;s bread is buttered by a growing birth rate?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t suppose environmental xenoestrogens help the situation either... resulting in estrogenized males who either have no interest or ability to procreate. &amp;nbsp;And what about the socially-impaired who only communicate via their cell phones? &amp;nbsp;No schools, churches or social centers open to for opposite sexes to meet each other.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;5G is looming towards the mass completion date.....and when 5G is running 100%.....the first thing to die will be animals.....animals like cows and beef.....as most are only kept alive now with antibiotics  and `hormones ...and when the beef  start to drop.....there is the warning Gates or one his buddies   states  .. people will start to eat Fake meat  and enjoy it.........mostly because that all theer will be left..fish??  mostly farmed  as they have polluted the oceans so bad  most the fish is  nearly toxic..chickens?  we  again most are fed chemicals and soy proteins..GMOed soy.......grains spiced with Glysophates......and GMOed.so the chickens you eat today are feed  GMOed  unknown chemically enhanced feeds.so  Your eating a chemically altered  meat or eggs.. MMMMM....bacon n eggs is now  like nibbling on a chemistry set....and lunch....MMMMMM  fake hamburger.. laced with seed oils and glyphosate ...and whatever antibiotic the maybe cow  was fed...if the fake meat is flavourized with beef bloods or pink slime....MMMMM  and the water is 5ppm  fluorine...and the faked &amp;#39;soap&amp;#39;  bars you rubbed all over you body..laced with   sodium lorual sulfate and a bunch other toxics...and the bed you sleep in .more chemical garbage..all this and more make YOU WEAK and susceptible  to the radiation from 5G Towers...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is just Common sense....like connecting the dots..  But who am I???  Just n Old man hanging out on My Mountain...watching...........and I got a lot of weeds pulled  :P&lt;/p&gt;

Vaccines...Gardasil may cause teens to have menopause and the Corona virus vaccine may not let the Placenta stay and cause miscarriages and &amp;nbsp;may lower sperm and much more.&lt;/p&gt;
