That's gone, now. Still, there'd be results.....

And that doesn't come from thin air. There are similar opinions, here in the West. The common factor, as far as I can tell? Feminism.

I did a bit of looking into that today. China, USSR, their way of looking at women. One of the interesting things I found was that the social roles in China were much more formalised pre-commie than in the USSR nations, and under Mao they went consideralbly harder against gender roles, as...

Interesting. Modern China's not the same as the USSR, but it may well have that kind of effect. On the other hand, it might not. Soviet women were expected to be workers and mothers. China didn't do that, for a while. They're trying now, but this kind of thing doesn't turn on a dime. We'll...

Likely, at least close.

Perhaps, but it doesn't even begin to ask why? As long as the current culture continues, they're going to have issues with demographics. Even if they make abortion illegal, most will not have kids. It's not a legal issue, it's their version of Feminism meaning women don't want kids, and man...

Ok, two things. 1) First X? Says there's nothing there. 2) I can see that China's going for massive automation, probly in the theory that that's what they need to dominate the economic world. It might work. On the other hand, their culture's as bad as Russia's, and the main thing proping...

Lawyers! Hilariously, not kidding. Not everything they can do, but, still.

It's not about the money. It's about doing something with a bit of meaning. Even a job where you stock shelves, you can at least see that you're doing something real. Not much, but still, you're fixing a least that little bit of the World. But, that feeling is more delicate than is seems. Shit...

Nope, you aren't. That's why Welfare is a dumb idea.

...... Feeling like you've done nothing of value, means for many? That they have no value. Look, I spent a year unemployed. I never ran out of money. But, sitting there, doing nothing, day after day after day? It was the most depressing period in my life. I'd have prefered working as a garbo...

Look, the studies on Unemployed people are pretty staggeringly bad. It's been a while since I looked it up, but it had worse depression rates and general poor health rates above any and all professions. Getting out and doing something, anything, that matters is just good for people. But...

How likely is it that we'll be able to get rid of all the existing programs to replace them? Because it's near impossible to cut any of them right now. Oh, and here, in Australia? We've had Welfare for decades. There are families where everybody from the great-grandfather down, have never...
