A median age of 38.9

Last year the median age of the U.S. reached a record high of 38.9.  In 2000 the median age was 35, and in 1980 only 30.  This is the result largely of low birthrates.  People are delaying marriage and having fewer children. 

To me this is great news.  Fewer people means less resources being used.  Of course, it also means that people may have to work longer, and it will be more difficult to fund social security and pensions.  Nonetheless, those problems can be overcome.  What can’t be overcome is the destruction of the planet overrun by billions and billions of people.
