  • Also, don’t forget that a major part of the tariff declarations are pushed by his billionaire handlers and his family, to crash markets and buy in a fire sale. It’s the most blatant and highest scale insider trading scheme ever.

    Pretty sure this is why he is fucking over federal aid for disasters. Hurricane wipes out a bunch of “poor” houses on the south-east seaboard, his billionaire buddies buy up the properties for pennies on the dollar, and then Trump is going to re-instate disaster aid to help clean up affected areas while taking about how the coast used to look so beautiful, and it’s Biden’s fault that all those people got forced out of their homes. Wealth transfer complete, and we even pick up the bill for rebuilding all the infrastructure on for the billionaires.

    Nope. Absolutely wrong. You can cook food faster than you could 150 years ago using microwaves, induction cook tops, non-stick pan and other advancements in kitchen tech. Modern care aids reduce the time it takes to wash a person, and allows them to wash themselves much later in life before they need partial or full assistance. Modern adult diapers come off easier, seal better, and absorb more, so they have fewer blow-outs and it takes fewer wipes to clean up a person.

    Edit: let’s also add that better productivity in other areas enables fewer people do more work, which (should) free up a larger portion of the population for elder-care.

    A replacement birthrate leads to a more stable society

    Only if you assume that the amount of production for a hour of labor stays the same. Workers today accomplish much more in a given time period than workers 65 years ago. The problem is that value is horded instead of being made available to the people that created it.

    Resources aren’t evenly distributed naturally, some area may not have enough resources.

    It takes more resources to get more resources, we may be measuring 30% of total resources, but not 30% of resource capacity.

    I’m fine with population control, but it should be implemented willingly at an individual level, and pushed via education and community acceptance. I catch a small amount of flak for not having kids, but wife catches a lot more.
