Einstein never said that?https://www.history.com/articles/here-are-6-things-albert-einstein-never-said although he agreed with it. Winston Churchhill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Churchill said something like “America always does the right thing after it tried everything else”. It was not a complement.
https://winstonchurchill.hillsdale.edu/americans-will-always-right-thing/ Surely he did not say America always does the right thing after it tried everything else twice! Love me 2 X’s Babe!
I just heard the Trump Administration is assessing how to get women to have more children. https://people.com/trump-team-ponders-incentives-motherhood-birthrate-11719580
Probably just wealthy white women? Nonetheless, we don’t have to assess what we already know. They elected him to solve inflation. Does he think they can afford six kids with an extra $5K? Other countries have already tried this throughout history. That’s kind of why we study it. So we know the only thing that works is to completely remove women’s birth control. Good luck with that one.
I never had a baby but my wife has and going though that I would never force anyone to have a baby. I would like a research project to force 100 men to have a baby though. You want to be barefoot and pregnant with six kids and forget about a career for $5K and/or a medal? Or, would you rather have a comprehensive immigration policy in effect even if it means more brown people?
China had the opposite problem . . . too many people. So, they killed off 3K prosteters and tried to limit birth by law, each family could only have a“One Child Policy.” When couples first birth were females, they had more in order to have a son anyways. While they did not report the extra babies, China acquired a whole population of natural born citizens that did not exist in the records! This was as most prohibitions are, generally a big failure. “Today, that aging population poses a long-term crisis threatening to upend China’s economic momentum.”
Countries struggle with generational spending waves ending with retirements that can slow economies to recessions. In America 1929, and 1980. Increasingly since birth control people are having less children so the following generational spending waves are smaller, reducing spending and resulting in slower economies. In the USA even when you have another baby boom the economy is so inflated more and more people will get left behind. Such as calling themserlves the lost generation. Children are expensive and a risk/reward engagement. Almost nobody wants to have six kids. A government that chooses to interfere in people’s bodily functions is a scary government.
‘Nations have tried to persuade their population to have children, from Russia’s patriotic call to do it to celebrate Russia Day, to Asian nations running dating programs’. <Source: unknown Other countries have tried everything including monetary incentives but the only thing that works is taking away their birth control. Rots of Ruck with that one!

If you give up a career and have six kids, Trump will give you a medal that will probably end up in the Goodwill. Perhaps you would prefer Scandinavian countries and Canada’s choice. They opted for a comprehensive immigration policy. It does not take that much intelligence to determine how many immigrants you would need to immigrate to keep an economy healthy. Not a problem for the USA. We have already brought in enough here simply because we have no immigration policy. Instead we use it for a political football.
The GOP keeps trying to shove things down our throats that have already been tried and failed. The current Trump immigration policy was already tried in Arizona with its papers please law and Joe Arpaio. So were the laws banning culture studies tried in AZ. The federal courts gutted both. Sheriff Joe kept engaging in and enforcing the papers please law arresting citizens.
Joe went to jail and Trump pardoned him. Why are we trying failed policies on a national basis now? Policies the courts gutted which they probably will again. If laws violate first amendment rights for both citizens and people who came illegally, they should be struck down.
If you apartheid the first amendment, it could be broken for anyone. They now want to deport citizens they don’t like. I can think of a few that make sense. Trump and his mob goons Tom Homan and Stephen Miller would be at the top of my list. In Trump’s last term, they separated children from their parents. That was a disaster and we are still trying to fix it. Now, this term they force them to sign statements that say they agreed to take their natural born citizen with them. Then deportation with no due process! What a Lovely bunch of coconuts. They should stamp Nazi swastika symbols on their foreheads. It might just be the First Ammendment is what spread democracy around the globe.
The governor of Florida decided he liked these failed policies the court struck down as unconstitutional and passed similar policies in Florida. I don’t think he liked the policies because they were good policies. He thought it was a good tool to spread fear and get elected. https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/politics/2023/06/30/florida-gov-ron-desantis-laws-keep-getting-blocked-a-partial-list/70367966007/
These policies will slow progress, hurt our economy and fail again even if the current SCOTUS approves part of them. Papers please is silly. Any cop can legally ask you for ID anyways. It does not give them the opportunity to violate the First Amendment. I do believe you are required to carry it with you. It would be a good idea you would not be the first American Citizen to get arrested and detained. Even deported!
