The United States has a population of only 300 million. Why are there too many?

Judging from the foundation of national development, the most important factor is people. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and many people make light work. Therefore, human resources have become the key to the country's development, which is also the reason why China has developed so fast after the reform and opening up, and what it eats is the demographic dividend. This is also the reason why India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Bangladesh and other countries are raising the fertility rate, because only more people can develop better. However, there are exceptions. The most typical example is the United States. The United States has only 300 million people, but it still hates too many people. Why? Actually, there are three main reasons.

The United States is the fourth largest country in the world, with a land area of 9.37 million square kilometers. If overseas territories are included, it will be even bigger. Moreover, the United States has superior natural conditions, most of its territory is suitable for production and planting, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and its geographical position is superior to the extreme. From a global perspective, China's land area is a little larger than that of the United States, with a population of over 65.438+0.4 billion, while India's land area is less than one third of that of the United States, with a population of 65.438+0.3 billion. Although Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and other countries are small, their populations are all several hundred million.

More directly, these countries have so many people, but they are still too few, and they continue to give birth vigorously. As for the United States, with such a large territory and such good conditions, there are only over 300 million people now, and this level has been maintained for a long time. According to the standards of Indian, China, Indonesian, Pakistani and other countries, the population of the United States is very small, at least it will exceed 654.38+0 billion.

However, the United States does not think so. The population of 300 million in the United States is not too small, but too much. The president of the United States has said more than once that Americans are full and don't need so many people, so this is also the main reason why the United States keeps expelling immigrants and refusing to accept refugees. Many people may say that there are only 300 million people in the United States, which is not much. Why does America feel that it has a large population? Actually, there are three main reasons.

First, the highest consumption in the world.

Although the United States has a population of only 300 million, accounting for less than 5% of the world's population, it is the largest consumer group in the world, consuming almost half of the world's resources. Moreover, the annual consumption scale is one-third of the world's, and Americans generally spend in advance. So Americans now enjoy the highest and best living standard in the world, which makes the United States and the world overwhelmed.

For the United States, if the population increases again, it will inevitably dilute the people's living standards, and the people are unwilling. It is also a burden on the country, so for Americans, they don't want others to take their jobs. So 300 million people are already many, and it is not easy for 300 million people to maintain such a high standard of living. If the number of Americans increases to 654.38+0 billion, the country will collapse, which is unbearable for the earth.

Second, industrial problems.

Judging from the industrial structure of the United States, after several industrial revolutions, the industry of the United States is the most advanced in the world, with high-end technology and high-end service industry as the mainstay, which is essentially different from China and India. So for the United States, there are not so many low-end industries to absorb immigrants and immigrants.

Moreover, the current situation is that the employment created by low-end industries in the United States cannot meet the needs of the United States. So from an industrial point of view, the United States does not need more people, which is essentially different from other populous countries. Therefore, the United States does not need more people, but it is still willing to accept high-end talents with money and technology. At this time, it is not too much.

Third, the country is unstable.

The reason why the United States hates too many people and spends tens of billions of dollars to build a wall is actually to stop those low-end people, because they can't create value in the United States, but they have become the biggest unstable factor in the United States. In particular, immigrants from South America and immigrants from Africa and the Middle East who are disliked by the United States will only bring turmoil and disaster to the United States.

Even now, the United States doesn't like black people who have lived in the United States for a hundred years, not to mention new immigrants and new population. Therefore, in order to maintain their high living standards, keep their jobs and maintain the stability of the country, the 300 million people in the United States are unwilling to increase their population because of their large population, and are eager to get rid of some of them, which also shows the selfishness of the United States.
