This is already a tracked statistic. It's called the fertility rate. Yes, it's tracked per uterus, and it's actually been falling precipitously for decades:

Already happening.

The only thing you need to do to accomplish this faster is educate girls (making women valuable for things other than childbearing), provide access to birth control and family planning education, and reduce child mortality (reducing the inclination to have "spare children" to replace all the ones you know will die).

Bangladesh provides a good example of these factors at play:

Not autistic, but as a person with a chronic medical condition, damn this hits hard.

Hedgehog! Brave bird haha

Cute isn't everything! I don't find the GHOs that populate my neighborhood particularly cute, but I still love them and get giddy when I hear them. I feel like VEO has some real "ancient witch/wizard" vibes working in its favor, unlike GHO which just reminds me of those old "Woodsy Owl" PSAs 😂

The onshore tax havens Delaware, Wyoming, and Nevada are vastly worse in scope than any offshore country. They push the narrative about those "terrible foreign countries" to distract us from this fact.

The problem is US tax code, not offshore financial centers.

Thanks! We're all happy. But it's not over for us just yet. The corporation that owns our hospital (Tenet Healthcare) is notorious for shenanigans, and we're anticipating they'll try to drag this out to see if they can induce us to revote in a year because we're dissatisfied with the union. (I think our vote margin finally got them to give up on just trying to make us all so miserable that we quit.) But we'll keep fighting. We live here; this is OUR hospital.

I wish you all the best in your campaign. I think the only advice from my experience that I would offer is be willing to extend grace. Patience with the ignorance and stubbornness of some of our coworkers bought us a lot of new yes votes by the end of our campaign. Especially when they were actively receiving the opposite from our administration.

Damn, what a great reference. I really wish I had this during our 3.5 month unionizing drive because those motherfuckers tried ALL OF THIS.

I'm proud to report that three weeks ago we won our union vote by a margin of 5:1. Our union organizers all said they've never seen a success ratio like that in their careers. We're a very spirited community hospital.

I actually just gasped out loud as I was scrolling. That thing is amazing

Reagan kid here, can confirm

You're younger than I am. For my generation, it was all square dancing.

That's very true

Lmfao, just a nurse chiming in to say I appreciate the shit out of you. Pun intended
