Population decline has a really good chance of being a huge problem in the future. People have a hard time believing that since all we've heard for years is "how are we going to feed X billion people". I'm not worried about it but I'll bet my future grandchildren will be.

The problem is the most of the growth is in countries that are probably food importers. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...osses-by-2100/ Nigeria is expected to grow by 350% in the 21st century and pass the USA as the third-most populous country

I bet we’ll figure it out.

Well, it depends on what you mean by "figure it out". I don't think we're going to be extinct but that doesn't mean there won't be real problems.

When aren’t there real problems though?

Yeah it’s a real tragedy that their under 5 mortality rate has fallen from over 300/ 1000 live births to under 100 in the last 50 years.

A solution.

Doesn’t less people solve climate change? Confused here…

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"

The fact of the matter is that most people don't need a 4 year degree. In many ways it's not worth the expense. Everyone goes to school with the idea that "when I get out I'm going to earn a 6 figure income" the reality is that they will earn ~$55k/year out of college on average. On the flip side, an Associates Degree in Computer Science will net an average of $73,760/year starting salary. Engineering techs (associates degree) earn $66k average starting salary. Fire Science yields around $60k starting, Graphic Design 52k, IT is around 55k, Marketing 63k, network admin $83k, etc... and you do it with significantly less debt.

My son is getting close (Sophomore) to graduating and is starting to really look at his options. He has schools like RIT & UAT reaching out to him, but he's also looking at his ROI vs a 2 year college. He's applying for scholarships to both, and I really think if he doesn't land one he's going to go the Associates Degree route, and I really don't blame him. Would I love for him to go to NDSU? Yes, absolutely! But he also needs to make smart decisions as well.

Scottie how many slaves do you own?

He doesn't "own" them. They are more like lease-to-own

got my degree from Da Paul University back on 06 when Ron was running an anarcho-federalist correspondence program out of converted oil tanker free city in international waters known as Section 113. It's in road construction and human smuggling. I only ever used one of these professionally so it wasn't really worth the investment of 2.5 gold bars but like most 4 year degrees it was more about the networking than the education

subsequently i would work on the 2008 ron paul presidential campaign where i would help dispose of a hookers body whom he killed while campaigning in missouri

point being u should tell your boy to follow his heart and give him some of your gold you greedy fuck

Bold move, and one that could work in NDSU’s favor. Suggests that they are assuming the home-town market is cornered and are trying to attract out-state.

Come on up to Fargo. It’s not that far away … and I hear it’s booming. Notable quote below:

"Resident undergraduate students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison pay just under $11,000 in tuition, while Minnesotans pay about $15,000. At North Dakota State University, tuition is $9,300 for state residents and about $10,500 for Minnesota residents. ‘The tuition at the Twin Cities is roughly 50% higher than the flagship institutions in any of the surrounding states …’"
