“Driven” suggest more than half of total pregnancies,

Less than 20% of a total is “significant”?

The amount the percentage represents is irrelevant. A billion people could be involved, but if the total is 7 billion, it’s not going to be a significant part of the total trend.

In the terms of your analogy, this is about 3 people out of 20 pedaling a (weirdly long) bike and steered by all of them (somehow). Would you say that group of 3 are driving? Or would you concede it’s the two groups of 6 that are mostly driving the bike?

Your "words wholly" includes more than whatever you think it does.

My point has always been about this study

Has it? I think you're far less clear and careful with your words than you think you are. You've been arguing from the start that less than half of something isn't and can't be significant. We aren't even discussing the text in this study that you can read in the screenshot:

More than half the drop of America's total fertility rate is explained by women under the age of 19 now having next to no children.

What you're saying now about “the traditional driver of USA birth rates” isn't reflected in your other comments.

Your numbers are all over the place and don't really make sense for what you're talking about. 3 plus two groups of 6 would only be 15 out of 20, so where did the other 5 people go?

But more to the point, if those 3 stop pedaling, or pedal harder than everyone else combined, or apply the brakes, or tip the bike over, any number of other things they could absolutely change the speed/direction of the bike.

Yes. For example, 60 million people in the US (less than 20% of our total population) is a significant amount of people.

In the original there are 50, 16 rows of 3 plus 2 more.

I may not be good at giving it a number, but I can usually see how far apart two things are.

Trump should be caught up in too many legal battles from all the crimes he's committed to have any time to campaign or be relevant in the election. The fact that he's not is already a massive failure of our political system.

It's hard to say for sure, but China’s record carbon emissions expected to peak due to clean energy push, report says so I sincerely hope their yearly CO2 emissions start going down soon.

They still have less total emissions than the US and EU, but I doubt it'll stay that way for long.

You're definitely wrong about India, and famously China Added More Solar Panels in 2023 Than US Did In Its Entire History, so I don't see why we can't be trying to reduce emissions too.

remove the arbitrary cap on House reps.

proportional representation

I thought you were conflating these two. If not, then I have no idea what you were talking about when you said

I think thats what they meant?

If you're thinking about proportional representation, that's a separate thing

Youtube says there are only 441 videos in the complete series, I'm sure you'll find your cousin eventually.

Although it is weird, wikipedia and archive.org are telling me there should only be 65.
