That is an interesting take.

I wonder what's causing the projected decline of HS graduates beginning after 2026?

More kids dropping out of HS and focusing on crypto and options?

People haven't been keeping up with their fucking to increase the population since 2008?

Does this compute for Herdbot?

If I had to guess, it comes from shrinking families? The days of big families of 10 kids went to 3 or 4. Might now be slipping to 1 or 2 or even 0? Haven't looked at the basic math that goes into that but it seems unlikely that kids are dropping out of high school at some higher rate now?

And what causes shrinking families, I wonder? There were very few families with a lot of kids even 40 years ago.

I'm guessing there are many factors.

Why don’t you enlighten us?? Perhaps you do have kids, but I’ve never seen you reference them—just animals/squirrels and such?!

If your parents never had sex there's a pretty good chance you won't either.

My parents did—>confirm 9 times.

I always enjoy being captain obvious, but U of M tuition rates are simply outrageous. They may want to figure that out to get more kids; that and get people to copulate more....

I don't know everything, CAS.

Yea this is the right answer, its just ridiculously expensive ..... i have 2 friends with HS kids right now, they both said "if my kid doesn't get an athletic or academic scholarship, they won't be going to a 4 year college"

My joke has always been that my parents are losers because they've only banged three times.

Yeah just a guess. An uneducated one. I've read that more developed societies tend to have many fewer kids. I've seen the European and Japanese birth rates have plummeted. We seem to have more kids than them but it's trending down still I think.
