They are probably pushing for higher demand to be created for local tech / chips so that the local stuff can catch up with western tech faster. And presumably exceed western tech after that (EVs and related tech like batteries seem to be something they are leading on now - after many billions and years of pushing them for locals to purchase).

Easy to verify using the satellites which NASA has with the capability to measure CO2 emissions - Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) and the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-3 (OCO-3).

Migration from where? If all / most other first world populations are dropping, you will need migration from asia, africa, latin america etc. In other words, not whites.

Not sure if US will agree to that, and even if they did, not sure how many of the other educated people will want to migrate there, considering it can all change with a single presidential election.

The difference is, you are stuck with a partner that you picked while young, stupid, and drunk on hormones. Whereas in the old day, your partner was chosen for you by people who were mature, wise, objective, and had your best interest at heart.

Not always. Sometimes parents decided on who their kids will marry depending on what they can gain as well (an alliance, marrying into a politically influential family, into wealth, etc).

Not necessarily chosen for the kid on the basis of what they think is best for them.

I guess its more like :

I may have given permission if I was born in Germany, but I will not give permission to be born in (whatever poor / corrupt) country.

If you are going to ask permission to be born, may as well do it all the way.

Or else its just random chance when and where you are born - including in space.

Doesnt the US gov need good weather forecasting for national security reasons?

After all, you want to be sure there is not cat 5 hurricane forming anywhere near your carrier fleets. Or your air force missions / exercises.

And to make sure your troops are aware and prepared before a storm hits them.

And so many other things.
