Also, because the census has a huge fvcking margin of error, you could see movement in either direction.

Excellent. Thank you for contributing your hopeful news :)

Goodness. This is very unfortunate to hear as I would like folks to emphasize the strengths of our society in this thread. If we don't have a desirable PPC, we don't have much, honestly.

However, on the flipside, society will benefit from your astute analysis in the long run so things are still looking up. We need not lose hope because we know what our goal is. We just need to make plans to improve the situation. I believe WKUK has our solution.

Your name will go down in history, Cody.

I'm intuitively attracted to the WKUK proposal. That's a think tank which certainly merits more funding. I think we also, in the interest of looking at per-capita puppies, need to be careful about only looking at measures of breeding--even if we breed more puppies, we need to pay attention to rates of birth and birth tracked against human population growth. That immediately casts the ideal relation as between puppies and their potential human owners. Monitoring it that way, we can always have a target number based on recent census data. And, with Puppies Forever, we don't even have to worry about depreciation, because we'll always be able to keep the puppy supply constant!

Fantastic! I'm drawing up a proposal and will be sending it to my government representative A.S.A.P.

I suggest all people interested in the strengthening of society do the same! It's the only way!

You'll have to outshine many handsome and successful aristocrats.

I'm not so sure your teddy bear face could compete :)

No.

We spend too much our time measuring compassion for those in needs by measuring inputs. How much money are we spending? How many programs are we creating? But we are not focusing on outcomes. Are these programs working? Are people getting out of poverty?
