At the risk of overuse of this Musk Pontification as a jumping off point for Doom posting in one day, we also find out that Korea has an accelerating drop in its birth rate. What few of these articles discuss and is of equal if not greater importance in our determination of which way the population balloon is going is the DEATH RATE. In this article though, despite the fact it is only briefly mentioned, we do get a graph that traces both in Korea for the past 4 years. Check out first the spread between Births and Deaths:

It has gone from about even in 2019 to now nearing double deaths to births. With that kind of spread, your total population is going to drop like a rock on Jupiter. Look also at that HUGE spike in deaths in March 2022. Can you guess where that came from? I'll save you the trouble of Googling it, that was a COVID surge. That wasn't even from the first wave either, and I don't think it comes close to the wipeouts in China a few times in different provinces.
How about the Death Rate in Gaza last month? Ukraine last year? Afghanistan the last decade? What's the spread, Ted? How come Elon isn't so worried about the Death Rate? How come we don't have stories in the MSM focusing on the Death Rate in different countries around the world, and different counties in the FSoA?
This issue becomes important on the economic front also. A decreasing birth rate means fewer tax payers, but increasing the death rate means fewer social security recipients and unfunded Medicaid liabilities. Right here on my court in the SNIF, currently we have 5 out of the 17 rooms occupied by infected old folks, who tend to have a low survival rate when attacked by this virus. For the record, this is the 5th time I have been incarcerated together with a large number of Quarantined COVIDies. Once more, my immune system has been called in to battle. 3 days ago I felt an itch on my epiglotis. You know, that thing at the back of your throat that if you stick your finger back there to scratch you vomit? So I started doing this thing with the back of my tongue against it and forcing air through to make it vibrate, scratching it that way. It kept getting more itchy each day to the point I am making this weird sound to scratch it every couple of minutes.
I figured, OK, this is it, I got it, my perfect record is over. Next comes the cough, the fever, the pneumonia, then the death.
Nope. Today I woke up, no more itchy epiglotis, no cough, no fever, I am fine. Was that the COVID virus trying to grab a foothold on me, like the Israeli army attacking Gaza? Dunno, I looked up early symptoms of COVID, itchy epiglotis is not listed. In any event, I am still batting 1.000. Haven't got it yet. All my swabs have come back negative this month, though I did not get one this week. Didn't ask for 1 because I didn't want to know if I did have it.
Births down, Deaths up. The Population Knockdown is knocking at the door now.
