    They'll be putting almost all their money in a rotten sinking ship that's transporting plague rats and food that was already spoiled long before the shipping ever commenced

    Question is, will they even have a population for it? The majority of China's population are old and male

    Thing is, how long would it take for them to recognise it would be a better idea to just abandon them? When it comes to how they think, I think NETFLIX's continued sheer obsession with "Cuties" is an example of their Sunk-Cost Fallacy and mixing of not understanding how/why others would disapprove

    Tom Kratman seemed to sort of predict the Mass Muslim Immigration To Europe thing, more than a decade ago In-Terms of a "Civil War", I think you may get more of entire states or areas declaring their defiance Like in his novel State of Disobedience.....the Texan Governess being a...

    @Terthna Thanks for saying this, you’re one of the few Lefties I’ve met online who actually DOES have rights to being called a moderate or actually look to want balance and aren’t acting as if we’ve already all got post-scarcity tech to make all those social programs work without extreme...

    Reminds me of Isaac Asimov’s Robots/Galactic Empire/Foundation series Let’s just say, the “Spacers” had way safer and better living standards and way longer life expectancy Their rate of reproduction was VERY low, they could reproduce just fine, they just did NOT and were rather extremely...

    @Bear Ribs Bit of a problem there, once they’re too used to a cynical cliche, they’ll probably be going on about how unrealistic and horrible that brighter take is Yeah, not an easy thing to say the least That said, I think even those immigrants or the countries they come from are gonna start...

    I mean that people at times like to think of fiction as either "satire" or some sort of reflection of real-life social realities, including ones that sorta make out how a Free Market will lead to a Megacorp that will destroy said Free Market So they also take seriously the idea of kids being a...

    You mean Grimdark/Grimderp stuff aren’t always realistic? Being extremely cynical about free markets(but being extremely idealistic towards government intervention is okay)and free speech and free transactions isn’t being realistic about stuff either?

    I don’t think it’ll just be financial costs Would YOU want to put up with some kid making tantrums or nearly eating crayons or arguing with you or insisting that you be there for him Hell, having that kid could mean less time for other things, including non-essentials Parental love does NOT...

    Universities.....say, what if kids learned cheaper and faster via online education and homeschooling that is sorta more focused on each individual than a huge mass of people whom the teachers or professors can’t all talk to Public School takes up much of a kids time and I doubt it’s always...

    @Prince Ire @Lord Sovereign You know, ironically this reminds me of a Social Studies sort of class I took, the kind usually to attract Far Left types It was explained there that one strange but weirdly logical thing was that Poor Families have a LOT of kids even if they can’t afford them The...

    Exotic Foods though, look to be something that don’t cost huge amounts of money to properly make, last I went to China and ate at one stall....well they probably have “farms” of a sort but that cockroach “farm” I saw on the net once didn’t exactly look mega clean to me

    You know, ONE regulation, I see plenty of people agreeing on is food-health-safety control Especially in-relation to China's surprisingly unregulated "wet market" which is in a Socialist Nation but allowed so much leeway in people buying and selling something that was already a possible health...

    Ha, reminds me of this comment I just got on reddit "You say this as if climate change, and our contribution to it, is not an issue. If power generation was run by the state, for the people instead of profit, then there would be greater incentive to switch to cleaner and more sustainable...

    Problem is, population numbers I get people prefer Quality Over Quantity, but there's the problem that you guys have been sorta against having more or any kids for quite awhile, how can you have say, a military tradition if you don't have enough non-military types supporting said military

    And they want the government to be constantly in-charge of things like Urban Planning and such with guys graduating from even their SJWized colleges being the ones handling that stuff I know this is pretty off-topic from the thread topic But I will say that it looks like lots of countries have...

    Memory's kinda wrong then and I think the "wider powers" was something I heard sometime mid-Corona a few weeks or months back Though that may have been said by said yellows/leftists on the news or them misquoting him or something
