I mean, in the short term (50-100 years), yes it is. Unless people start dying at a younger age, there’s going to be a lot of orphaned seniors, which isn’t good. We won’t really see the benefits of a declining birthrate in our lifetimes, but we will see numerous negatives.

In the long term, it’s probably more nessecary then “not bad,” but again, you don’t want to be the one of the people living during the population collapse.

I mean, kids only really suck in a world where both parents have to work 40+ hours a week. You really don’t have to dedicate all your time to them, but in a world with less and less community to help raise them and more and more work to grind your energy down, you have to dedicate far too much of your limited free time to them. I would love to be able to raise a kid or two myself. I loved working with kids. We should not be throwing them into some nebulous “public system.”

Democracy is when the majority of people vote for a law but because rich people from 100+ years ago say otherwise it doesn’t get enacted.

We’ve been supporting war in Yemen for a bit now. I think since 2014, so nearly a decade. This is the natural result of such. Maybe we need to just stay out of middle eastern blood feuds if we don’t want to have our ships attacked?

This is so disingenuous because it completely ignores why a woman’s tech conference needs to exsist in the first place. I hope you’re not actually convinced that you care about equality and realize where the urge to argue against a woman’s tech conference being for women comes from.

McDonalds has crashed in quality since the pandemic. During the pandemic everyone was really competing for market share and improving their menus… Except McDonalds, and now that we’re out of the pandemic, everyone is pinching including McDonalds. I’d really rather go anywhere else except maybe BK.
