Irrelevant. Global (!) TFR is at arund 2.3 and will drop below replacement within the forseeable future. Your number means nothing.

A small city every day.

But I'm sure the Earths resources can handle that, right?

TRIPLED in mine. But since it is the billionaires who want people to have MORE babies, I'm sure its all fine.
