Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL?
vonbaronhans@midwest.social 1 week agoWe have 350 million people in this country literally right now. I don’t think “350 million born since 1933” makes sense. There gotta be a lot of churn just from early deaths alone.
I mean you can check my math, I just added up all the births per year in this article
www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/…/111928356/
Rounding to one significant figure, it’s 311.9 million people born in the US since 1933. Adding an average of 4 million births per year since then, it’s 335.9. I rounded up to 350 to bring it to a nice round number
Well, I think this is twice in the same thread where my intuition was considerably off base. Lesson learned, I suppose.

Not every person in the United States was born in the United States and even temporary workers can get a SSN
