This one’s important folks…

I just released the interview below with data analyst Chris Hamilton of Econimica and he showed me a few charts that just blew my mind.

First & foremost among them is one showing how US natural population growth (births less deaths) is on track to go negative — for the first time in history — by 2035.

That has massive implications: socially, politically and — for certain — economically.

Also, our cohort of the key value-creating demographic, adults 25-54, is ALREADY in decline.

Our population is rapidly becoming a lot older (and unproductive) on average.

For a stark glimpse into the future barrelling towards us, click here or on the image below:
