Ahh the old "do you research" line.
Yeah I did, and the facts don't support your point. Maybe do some actual research instead of typing what you want to see in Google and cherry picking, but I know that's too much to ask from you.
Oh so birthrate isn't going down in developed countries?
Oh, so nuance and context isn't a thing?
I mean if we want to argue in bad faith, I got a pretty light day.
But let me do your research for you.
In 2024, the U.S. saw a 1% increase in births, totaling approximately 3.6 million.
South Korea, known for having one of the world's lowest fertility rates, experienced its first increase in births in nearly a decade in 2024. The number of births rose by 8,300 compared to the previous year, with the fertility rate increasing from 0.72 to 0.75.
Oh no, facts, your only weakness.
Wow, one year of reversed trend, damn, you proved me so wrong! 😱
I've been talking about historical trends since the beginning, you pull out numbers for the last year without looking at everything that came before and you act like you proved anything.
🤡
Lol I love this, I love to watch people flail like this.
"Birth rates are going down! Do your research!"
"Well I did, and they aren't. Here's the facts."
"Nu-uh!"
Dude, take the L and sit down. You said to do the research, and I did. You're wrong. Let's just keep moving the goalpost every time you're wrong so that you feel justified in your stance. Sure, bud. Well, sure, I can do that too: if you look at the past 3,000 years, the birthrate is actually trending up like crazy. Let's not look at other factors like infant mortality, life expectancy, or anything, that would be silly. Lol, you are so absurd. It sounds like you need to do some more research, but I know that’s too much to ask from you.
Again, work on your reading comprehension, that's like if you were telling someone that's arguing that climate change is real that it isn't because temperatures went down that one year compared to the previous one.
Trends, you would have learned about that if you had paid attention in school.
