The following comes from a December 21 LA Times article by Soumya Karlamangla:
California’s birthrate dropped to its lowest level ever in 2016, according to data released by the state’s Department of Finance.
Between July 2015 and July of this year, there were 12.42 births per 1,000 Californians, the agency said this week. The last time the birthrate came close to being that low was during the Great Depression, when it hit 12.6 per 1,000 in 1933.
But, unlike after the Depression, birthrates haven’t bounced back quickly as the economy has picked up.
California has been experiencing a years-long downward trend that likely stems from the recession, a drop in teenage pregnancies and an increase in people attending college and taking longer to graduate, therefore putting off having children, said Walter Schwarm, a demographer at the Department of Finance.
When people do complete their schooling, they’re interested in taking some time to pursue their careers or other goals, he said.
Good.
Remember that life went on as normal, in Sodom . . . until the Angels came.
Fake news! This is utter nonsense, the Hispanic population has and is exploding, the average child is 5.2 per Hispanic household in California, this folks is simply more “fake news”. Why and who are these people that simply lie to the American population.
Not fake news.
The article cites an apparently reliable source for the basic statement. Further, the article does not cite breakdowns of population growth/decrease by racial or ethnic category. Its easily possible group A has a fairly high growth rate while the overall population declined.
Go here for a lot of data: https://www.google.com/search?q=birth+rate+in+california+chart+last+20+years&biw=1024&bih=700&tbm=isch&imgil=lZEsn9KpTbAnFM%253A%253Bi9QkPRkN7cxaKM%253Bhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.med.uottawa.ca%25252Fsim%25252Fdata%25252FBirth_Rates_e.htm&source=iu&pf=m&fir=lZEsn9KpTbAnFM%253A%252Ci9QkPRkN7cxaKM%252C_&usg=__ayGvSkSC5HS7o91RAsI4LsYm8sA%3D&dpr=1.25&ved=0ahUKEwjGpozJ_ZTRAhXKx1QKHRIcCMEQyjcIZA&ei=8K9iWMbuLMqP0wKSuKCIDA#imgrc=_ This indicates that it is not fake news.
Our civilization has fallen apart, since the 1960’s, sadly. Traditional Marriage and child-rearing is the core of our society. Many of our modern cities (like San Francisco) now have very few children– empty schools, empty playgrounds– and empty hearts! So sad! The “youth generation” has been heavily indoctrinated with “politically-correct,” un-Christian, immoral ways to live Traditional Marriage and children is the foundation of our society, and should be encouraged and protected! Our modern “Babylons,” and “Sodom and Gomorrahs,” will eventually collapse!
Right Folks, ‘Goo-Ghoul’ is not ‘fake’ news… Just deeply partisan propaganda, as was shown by their treatment of Candidate Rick Santorum during the attacks of the 2012 Presidential Race – by Dan ‘The Savage Lickspittle’ and others of that ilk.
It is called SEME = Search Engine Manipulation Effect, and involves the Ranking in which entries are shown the viewer, who generally stop at the First Page – if even that far.
SEME has been used in recent elections, in a way that Russian Hackers who showed DNC Chair Donna Brazile feeding advance presidential debate questions to madam pantsuit – would have envied.
McDermott, There is no proof that the Russians hacked the DNC emails or Clinton emails. You have to remember the spoiled losing Commucrats who lost the election and still in power are doing all they can to declare it null and void. It wouldn’t surprise me if Obama were to declare Marshal Law and anoint himself as Supreme Dictator indefinitely. They figured they had the election won by their rigging/cheating on the vote with all the illegals voting and cheaters voting multiple times. The Commucrats were bold, got away with it in the last two presidential elections and were surprised by the turn in events this time around. You need to remember who the Intelligence Agencies work for, Chairman Obama! They do and report what he wants…
I am grateful to whoever hacked the DNC and Clinton server emails then provided the corrupt government officials (actually untried criminals) emails for all Americans to see what corruption has been going on by them for years!
What is important is the content of those emails and how they exposed the truth of the Obama and Clinton corruption throughout the federal government and their foreign and nasty donors. These people all deserve to be tried for treason, subversion, and perhaps murder! If not, other corrupt politicians will dare to do it again. Naturally they will get what they rightly deserve just like the rest of us when we die. The exact source of where those emails provided to Wiki-leaks comes from is not as important as the…
