Because they have nothing of value the world wants, human beings are the worst.

They have done the math and bringing industry home works now with automation and technology and will be cheaper than third world hand labor and transport costs, even the textile industry will work with automation and tech. I think that's why there is new talk of universal basic income, you have to keep the population housed and fed or they will revolt.

Mexico has a young workforce that will do some of the manufacturing and buy US products, we have a new trade agreement with them.

although there is a trend in a lot of countries of negative population growth, some other countries have expanding populations. most of the shrinking countries are in EU, while most of the expanding countries are in Africa. while the worlds population is still growing, the growth rate has decreased dramatically, and experts say that after hitting a peak of 9.8 billion, it should stabilize around 8 billion by 2100...so the current population is about what it's going to be for a while, after a few fluctuations.
if automation grows, which it almost certainly will, i see a lot more people going into tech jobs to service the automation, a lot more people being involved in agriculture, the arts, running their own retail businesses...and a lot of unemployed people...

If we are producing everything we need, why do we need everyone to work the way we have been in the past?
I think something like a 2 days on 5 days off system would be really worthwhile where people are earning enough to live off of. Still leave people room to work more if they really want to elevate their standard of living. And we would drive far less, which helps get us off oil.
I really think we need to deal with the Saudi's soon. They are attacking our democracy as much as any other nation has been.

I've seen estimates on population and they are more dire, like China losing half it's population by 2050.

The US and the world are in for huge changes and the current standard of living is not sustainable. Didn't anyone notice things like the tiny home movement or van life, there are lots of examples of what's coming, just turn on cable tv.

it depends on how they implement the idea. If we remain a capitalistic society, those that can't or won't earn extra income will become the new poor, living above subsistence, but still looked down upon by those who can and do earn extra income.

They are trying to make living in your van look fun and adventurous but it's still living in a van or tiny house, half a mobile home.

China has 1.4 billion people...half of them are going to die and not be replaced in the next 30 years?
i just do not see that happening...outside of plague, major disaster, or major war.

Famine is coming soon, china warned it's population last year to stock up on food, they can't keep the lights on,they have rolling blackouts from coal shortages.

China's largest open pit coal mine is also the worlds largest and it is almost empty, if they lost coal imports they would have to shut down their industry.

right now about 10 million a year die in China, from all causes. that number would have to almost double, starting today, for China's population to drop by half in 30 years...with a 0 repopulation rate...so yeah, not very likely

Energy shortages and the rising cost of it will shut down heavy industry around the globe, if you don't have domestic energy resources you're screwed. Turkey is on the verge of collapse because they can't pay for the natural gas imports to fuel their industry. It's looking like oil will go to $200 a barrel or more,poor countries can't afford it any more.

With the US out of the middle east they will focus on their local hatreds, more than likely things will escalate with Iran. It's the same with the Taliban,with us gone they will turn on their neighbors, it's how the human race works.

Russian representatives skip UN court hearing on Ukraine

Putin does not give a F***. Probably sees the end of the cold war as a bad thing. Better to have Russia a fortress with government controlling the population than being tainted by the West.
