But birth rates are declining globally. Mexico cannot replace people who aren't being born by immigration from the US like the US used to do with immigration from Mexico...

We've had huge migration waves ever since industrialization.

The majority of humans live in cities. Throughout history, cities usually had sub-replacement fertility.

Look at Managua or Jakarta, Delhi or Caracas – the share who were born there is surprisingly low.

If you tax everybody according to the same rule and then give a group that does something money, you in essence tax everybody who doesn't do the something.

It's just easier to "sell" one thing rather than the other...

People will continue to take every opportunity to cease being subsistence farmers. But we'll put considerable resources into keeping Delhi or Jakarta or Amsterdam rather than resettling their population to Denver or Narvik or Zürich...

To cite just one example, agriculture in the Alps wouldn't exist if it weren't subsidized. And generally speaking there's less marginal land under cultivation in Europe than in the High Middle Ages.

I think in a surprising amount of cases it'll be more economical to make infrastructure in place more resilient than to abandon big cities.

On the other hand people moving to cities and abandoning marginal land has been a trend since industrialization

A lot of people who are childless cite economic factors. There are people who would be childless even if there were no economic or time (economic in a different dress) constraints but if those people who'd want kids under different circumstances had them, birth rates would be considerably higher...

It's inefficient to raise carnivores for meat. Some cultures still do it, but turning grass and food waste into meat is much more efficient than turning meat into less meat.

This is of course far from the biggest problem with it, but why doesn't she call Mr Zelenski by the name he wishes to be known by?

Does she also call Iran "Persia" or J.D. Vance whatever it says on his birth certificate?
