For those unaware, "Build Back Better" is a phrase coined in the global elite think tanks - mainly the World Economic Forum.

July 2020 - To build back better, we must reinvent capitalism. Here's how

July 2020 - Building Back Better: An Action Plan for the Media, Entertainment and Culture Industry


From the other side - which is more or less my take:

July 2021 - What is “Build Back Better” Globalism?
Oh, yes, I've been posting about the World Economic Forum and the great reset since early last year. We're heading towards socialism on a very fast moving train.

It's been in the works for awhile, but now that time has passed, and their theory is now starting to show up in real life - more and more people will realize what this is.

The problem is that they have got their wheels in motion and they have momentum.

You can see why Trump had to be removed at all costs (read - cheating the election), and I am expecting hell, high water, and disease to prevent Trump or Trump-lite to be elected. A strong America totally wrecks their plans.

You can have all of the greatest plans for society that you want. But if you have to create crisis after crisis where a ton of people have died - what's really the good in the utopia you want to create if it costs death and chaos and misery to millions of people in the process?

AND... how much death, chaos, and misery will be required to maintain their utopia? It's utopia for them... not so much for everyone else.

I saw a graphic the other day of all the nations of globe and how much paid maternity leave each has. Virtually all have it. Go to Africa - yep every one. Asia - yep. Middle East - yep. South America - yep. But one big land mass has nothing - not one single day. The richest country in the world where Manchin thinks it costs too much and his billionaire donors can't afford it.

I think the vast majority of people (over 95%) don't understand what Build Back Better really means to them personally. They could lose most everything - including their freedoms - or their lives. Someone described what they want to do would be like putting everyone in the military under leadership you can't question. Those at the top reap the rewards & control the generals -- and normal folks are the privates that get killed in battle.

Suggest reading the 2021 article posted above.... very good overview.

500 million is the target global population. That's the number they're talking about. Makes you wonder how they expect to get there. Certainly, the view young people are given of pregnancy and parenthood is a part of that (if you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out - it's unreal), but the effects of those efforts will take generations to take hold and won't have that large of an impact. There must be something else.

I hope it's true as well, but can't find anything online that states the bills are now decoupled.

Number of births for Americans is at a 40 year low.

All age groups are down. The decline in teens giving birth - a good thing.

Births: Provisional Data for 2020

The provisional number of births for the United States in 2020 was 3,605,201, down 4% from the number in 2019 (3,747,540) (Tables 1–3 and Figure 1). This is the sixth consecutive year that the number of births has declined after an increase in 2014, down an average of 2% per year, and the lowest number of births since 1979 (3,8,9).


The TFR in 2020 was again below replacement—the level at which a given generation can exactly replace itself (2,100 births per 1,000 women). The rate has generally been below replacement since 1971 and has consistently been below replacement since 2007 (3,8,9).

How do you develop thoughts like this? Do you have any concept of the debt we are in and fiscal cliff we are facing? Some people have to live with the realities of math.

Or maybe they just know a stupid plan when they see it.
