Oh gee -- the USA ARS License numbers are decreasing about 2% in 5
years

Lessee...4,812/699,580.... Actually it's less than 1% loss in a little
under 5 years!

At that rate in 500 years, we will be a dead dodo (Ain't statistics
wundeful wunderful?)

Yup. How about this one: If a number decreases 2% every 5 years, it will
be down to just about half the original number in 170 years.

Gawd we are doomed

Yeah!

Suggest you young pups and baby boomers start worrying about your Social
Security rather than the demise of Amateur Radio in 170 to 500 years or so
(pick a decline stat)

I decided a couple decades ago not to depend on SS for retirement. If I get
something from it, great. But I'm not counting on it.
