Hmmm .... they moved to Vegas to get a job?! That's not "dying", that's smart, takin' care of business.

Hmm ... they moved to San Antonio or Dallas to find a job?! Makes sense to me. This isn't "dying".
I don't understand the mantras about reducing population. We should reduce population, we have more people than we have jobs and money to sustain them.
America needs economic policies that push production, not population. Economic policies based on population growth are ponzi schemes that benefit no one, economic policies based on production pay for themselves and benefit everyone.
I've been to Terrell County Texas. The land is nothing but cactus, sagebrush, and rocks for the most part. Pretty good deer, turkey, wild hog hunting and a lot of rattlesnakes. I do remember seeing few large ranching operations. Takes a lot of property to raise cattle and sheep on the dry arid land. I'd say there is good reason the population is shrinking in Terrell County, Texas.
