Do what Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China are doing: just let it fall, it will eventually bounce back. Boomers will be fine.

Replacing your entire culture and people doesn’t really fix the problem, it just permanently changes your country to be more like Africa, Mexico, India, etc.

I did not say Africa was a country..

>changes your country to be more like Africa

All of the countries in Africa, every single one, have a vastly lower standard of living than the USA.
