Hey all,
This came across my feed and you guys have touched on it in other threads:

EU's population hits record 450 million with numbers driven by migration, Eurostat says | Euronews https://share.google/NeZOB2DWP7agS6kKY

The EU has recorded more deaths than births annually since 2012, which means migration is the only driver of population growth.

What is Europe if's not populated by Europeans?

The concern here is whether or not countries SHOULD be growing, or if humanity, as a whole, should be striving for a reduction in population. Best achieved, of course, through low birth rate tied to education, employment, and a good standard of living, as opposed to famine, war, pestilence, and disease. Low education, low standard of living countries what use women as baby mills and then blast out young angry men to flood the civilized countries isn't an ideal solution.

But without more people how can we make lines go up? Think of the shareholders you monster.

Europe is a country whose population is growing, but only from incoming Africans and Turks?
