A rise in births, specifically, usually within some period.

I’ll tell you how bad it’s gotten…

My go-to gyro place has been out of spumoni for weeks!

Yeah I use Wikipedia too because it's so much more liable than a dictionary or Encyclopaedia Britannica...but let's go ahead and accept Wikipedia (where two nincompoops in their underpants go back and forth every thirty minutes and delete what the other one has put in there) as a source. Please notice that it says populations (plural) - referring to separated out groups of people, and not population (singular).

To what content are you referring to?

Technical content rarely suffers from this conundrum.

I'm saying that anyone can edit Wikipedia.

I actually DID edit wikipedia once. I read the article about my violin teacher, Daniel Guilet, and it had incorrect information about when he left IU and where he went directly afterward. Since I knew the correct information, I changed it.

Sure, I've done it myself. What's the point - that "demographics" isn't aptly used to describe the fluctuation of population of different generations during the years, affecting the number of skill trades workers at various points? I suppose I could amass a variety of references from various sources in support, if this is really going to be a controversy.

If someone can provide a picture with all necessary dimensions (.0000) for the needed parts, I can inquire about the possibility of producing them.

I'm supplying particular import necks that fit Conn - which are actually thicker-walled tubing and more strongly braced - like Conn necks made quite a few decades ago, and I'm supplying Olds/Reynolds tuning bits, because they are still plentiful - after all these years.

When that band director asked, I had gone through all of the O/R bits that I had on hand, but the point is that the nation is out of Conn necks and bits, and it's not as if the corporation or its subcontractor wasn't aware that there would be a demand at this time of year.

As so many things are no longer made here, half the people live in cities here, people who can are moving out of them, and those who don't live in them know that the cities are to be avoided, what sort of "superpower" nation is that?

The county next to my county lost 1% of its population last year, but - statistically - what has been done was wallpapering over (statistical "demographic"...??) the fact that all of that population was lost from the major city within that county - so what really happened was that the CITY actually lost 2% of its population last year. In a previous post here, what I was referring to is that one of the state's US congressional districts is gerrymandered to just about exclusively include a certain "demographic" of that city - with borders barely wandering outside the city to capture the same "demographic") and with the exodus of tens of thousands per year (including all "demographics" - as ALL "demographics, other than the Starbucks and cannabis crowd, would like to leave), that district - very soon - isn't going to be population "sustainable" enough to define a US congressional district). The city/congressional district is currently holding a mayoral election. The only law-and-order candidate (as everyone who is leaving is leaving because of crime) is having some dirt dug up on them by some anti-law-and-order state official over at the state capital. They didn't choose to indict prior to the election, and nor did they choose to indict after the election. ' sound familiar?

Mrs. bloke (in this sanctuary county, over here) is now going to four or five stores twice or three times a week to find the things that we eat around here these days, which is basically unbranded foods, manager special clearances, and the very lowest priced meats. She has resorted to hoarding, as obviously everyone else has. This situation isn't going to improve, though I'm sure everyone "hopes" that things will "change".

(Feel free to cornfield or lounge this thread. It is widely known that - when things that are particularly true are said - quite a few people make the decision to become quite offended.)
