#3 So how's that Nordic Socialism looking now? Great for a couple generations, then flat lining making room for new people to move in. It's mother nature's feature, not a bug.

"Finland, a first-rate place in which to be a mother, has registered the lowest number of newborns in nearly 150 years. The birth rate has been falling steadily since the start of the decade, and there's little to suggest a reversal in the trend.

Demographics are a concern across the developed world, of course. But they are particularly problematic for countries with a generous welfare state, since they endanger its long-term survival."

There's a simple, time-proven solution to that problem: import large numbers of Muslims from failed third-world shitholes. They breed like rats and will generate lots of tax revenue to support the continuance of the welfare state.

There are some downsides (random explosions and whatnot), but no matter.
