Three Hundred Million

According to US Census Bureau projections, today is the day that the population of the United States hits 300,000,000. So, I think that’s noteworthy. There should be some cheering. Currently I’m looking at 299,999,848. You can watch our estimated progress on the U.S. POPClock. That should be a good way to fill your day.
William Frey of the Brookings Institution says the 300,000,000 resident will be a Hispanic boy born in Los Angeles County. I think he should be named Trescientos Millones Garcia. That’s a nice strong name. I hope his parents are paying attention to me.
I’m finally breaking down and doing the math to get an idea when we should roll over and throw some confetti….
Okay, that’s like, at 7:46am. You’d better start celebrating.
