The Math Doesn't Lie: America’s Demographic Collapse Explained

Описание: Can a superpower survive if its people stop having enough children to replace themselves? We are cutting through the political noise to look at the one number that will shape America’s future: 1.6.

In this video, we analyze the hard data behind the United States' declining fertility rate and what it means for the economy, Social Security, and global geopolitics. We challenge the common myths—like American Exceptionalism, immigration as a silver bullet, and AI automation—to reveal the mathematical reality of a shrinking workforce.

From the flipping of the Social Security pyramid to the rise of new demographic powers like India and Indonesia, we explore why the next global competition won't be for oil, but for human capital.
