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.
“Eventually you think about having a child and by this point in time you’re in your early 30s,” he said. Because that’s also when women’s fertility begins to decrease, they end up having fewer children than if they’d started in their 20s, he said.

I take it this means even the illegals are aborting their future, also.
I thought the Mexican invaders were popping them out like crazy?
The place is too crowded anyway. This intercourse thing is a disaster.
I blame global warming.
"This intercourse thing is a disaster."
Tell that to ALL OF EUROPE. Not one European country anywhere near replacement level reproduction. Tell that to Japan. Without bonking there is no future.
Boinking.
Oh, Boinking? That's different. I'm all for that.
Europeans don't do it because they won't take a damned shower. Japanese? Well who is gonna screw a Japanese guy? Anybody in here? That's what I thought.
I know this isn't a popular subject for a lot of people here, but there is something even more important than the falling birthrate in CA that will easily be supplanted by illegal Mexicans pumping out kids like a play-doh factory. That something is California's war on the 2nd amendment. The laws to which Gov. Brown and the super majority have used to make gun ownership in California as hard as possible is really what is important here.
The unreported secondary issue to this is that California has more gun owners than any other state in the union, but they are also the least informed in the union. They couldn't scrounge together the necessary signatures to get a measure on last November's ballot against some anti-gun legislation and prop. 63 (the background check on ammo bill that passed). All they needed was a little over 600k signatures and they couldn't get over 150k. Then came prop. 63 and it was defeated by 2 to 1 ( 4.5 million to 2 million votes if I remember right).
The NRA was a no-show. They decided to spend money on litigation against these measures instead of advertising on media in California to fight them. The NRA in California has been a massive disappointment and still ask for money from you, if you live in California. Basically, I haven't seen anyone here talking about these issues that affect California's citizens ability to defend themselves and exercise their 2A rights. Now Trump supporters are hoping he may come through for them and California will fight him tooth and nail.
Sorry if this is OT, but it needs to be said.

Well, if you are an American, a gaijin, you could take a trip to Japan and possibly bag yourself a hot Japanese girl since they find Japanese men fairly repulsive anyway. You may get lucky.
Also now that Trump is going to be President, I'm thinking of resurrecting my dead blog, The Busy Bee Blog and see what I can come up with.

Actually, that falling birth rate is partly due to Jose and JosB NOT pumping out kids. The religion of abortion has come back to bite the Lefties hard.
Why do you think they now have to import Indians from Central America and Moslems from IS?
This is why they turn purple at the thought of The Donald sending them all back.
The only ones breeding are people like Sarah Palin. Visualize World Caribou Barbie.
Bagoh,
Not to miss the main point but I'll just mention about the Japanese, based on my experience in country;
Takakura Ken
Toshiro Mifune
Ken Watanabe
Any one of those three could mash any ordinary dude like a bug and two of them are dead. I agree that Japanese ladies are sublime, but do not underestimate our Japanese bro's. They still have some serious badasses over there. I used to work with several, they just keep it quiet.
