Anyone can become amazing at a sport if they work hard enough at it, but the top athletes are always going to be people who worked hard and have a genetic predisposition to it. Lots of sports are dominated by people who are taller than average. Where do we draw the line on a genetic trait giving someone too much of an advantage?

On top of economic concerns there’s also infrastructure concerns. Small towns don’t have metro stations, or massive power grids, or skyscrapers. These things are far too expensive to maintain for how little use a small population would get out of it. So what happens if a metropolitan city suddenly has the population of a small town? All the infrastructure of that city is now way too big and expensive to maintain. The city would need to spend a lot of time and money downgrading their infrastructure. It’s much better for populations to increase or decrease gradually rather than a huge sudden change.

After three days of controversy and headlines around the world, the Legault government has backed away from the idea of banning the “Bonjour-Hi” greeting.

North America includes Mexico, not to mention all the native populations that exist.

Je suis bilingue. Ma mère est francophone et je vis à Gatineau depuis 7 ans. Il n’y a que les francophone du Québec qui s’énervent quand je dis “bonjour hi”.

This is true, but it’s not like South Korea will just be producing slightly less consumer goods. Their population will soon be majority senior citizens. These seniors need people to provide and care for them. I’ve read estimates that even if every working South Korean quit their job and became a nurse, there still wouldn’t be enough nurses to care for the elderly population. Of course, every single worker in a country being a nurse would be a terrible idea, but it just goes to show how lopsided their demographics are.

The biggest issue here is that, ironically, South Korea’s older population is staunchly against any and all forms of immigration. South Korea isn’t the only country filled with old people, but they’re one of the only ones that refuse to import young people from other countries in order to balance things out.

These studies warning of collapsing economies are a way to try and persuade South Korea’s old people to allow immigration before their country collapses.
