The Supreme Court just helped Trump speedrun America's population decline

Original version ·

Turns out, kicking out hundreds of thousands of people when your birth rates are already in the toilet might have some demographic consequences. Who could have guessed?

America was already on a very clear path to becoming one giant, expensive retirement community. The population is aging, birth rates are dropping, and the math just isn't mathing for the future workforce.

But then the Supreme Court stepped in and officially greenlit Trump's massive deportation plans. Now, instead of a gradual demographic slide, we might be looking at a fast-forward button on population decline.

Demographers are basically pulling their hair out right now. It turns out you can't run a massive economy on vibes and octogenarians alone, and cutting off the supply of working-age people is going to leave a massive, empty gap.

Funding social security with a rapidly shrinking workforce is going to be an absolute masterclass in economic magic.
