To understand why tariffs are a necessary evil you need to understand three things:

  1. China is a centrally planned economy
  2. China is a hostile nation to the US
  3. China uses it’s economy to bully smaller countries into submission (see: one China policy).
China delenda est.
 
That is crazy. Motherhood gets plenty of social privileges. Endless social sympathy. Countless fucking monies. The entire social security is built around moms and social benefits to families.

There has never been a point in time. NEVER. Where motherhood was devalued.

Like what else do you want? Social privileges? More rights? More money? What the fuck. Enough is enough.

Either we make virtual womb real or start punishing women for not having babies since we ran out of fucking carrots.
It’s funny you got memed on with the reacts but yeah financial incentives aren’t changing anything, there’s gonna have to be a different solution. The biggest issue is that it’s been beaten into women’s brains that if they have kids that means their career prospects are over. And to be fair thats probably true with our current crop of boomer elite, who view people as economic assets and not people
 
I'm not sure that's true. if it was Africa would be the healthiest society on earth.

i don't think these are mutually exclusive, in fact they are directly linked in some cases. shrinking is not necessarily dying and growth for the sake of growth without a thought for quality of life, meaning or morality of it's people is not health. we have only gotten larger and larger in the past century can you really look around and tell me it's not dying?
Growth is an indicator of health but it's not the sole indicator of health it's important to keep in mind that African nations aren't growing organically they get massive amounts of outside "help". I would how ever argue that a society that is shrinking is by definition unhealthy. People don't actually plan for the future. They plan for their children every old man planting a tree whose shade he will never sit under is planting it for his children or his grandchildren.
 
Should I renounce my citizenship and then start committing crimes to get sympathy, free shit and pro-bono legal representation??
I still think it would have been funny af to dress a bunch of homeless vets in tacky tourist mexico crap and have them walk across a border crossing claiming to be illegals here for gibs
 
Motherhood and being a single for life with 40 cats are two different concepts. One which require a child to exist and one which require a bitter old single women in their 40s.
They're not two different concepts, they're mutually exclusive outcomes. You either become a mother as a woman or you end up having your fingers eaten when you die.

So if society encourages women to put off pregnancy which leads to the Crazy Cat Lady outcome then it doesn't value the Motherhood outcome.

Women can be scared of pregnancy AND desire motherhood at the same time. Two are not mutually exclusive. They are merely the situation in which the women find themselves, where they choose a degenerate lifestyle over motherhood because it's easier. Value & social prestige of motherhood haven't changed. It's reduced in numbers because of options & degenerate morals of the society.
Take Israel, for example. They still have, on average, 2-3 babies at a minimum because their entire society and social survival depend on it.

Intel will be laying off 20% of it's staff. Intel did more then anyone to invest in US based semicondcutor manufacturing and look at it.

Even if Intel makes the chips in America all the elements of a gaming pc will not be at least not for years if ever so your new made in america intel cpu is worthless with no ram or motherboard.

Look guys, can you just admit the tariffs were not handled well ? Even if you support tariffs and want more American manufacturing can you at least admit Trump's liberation day tariffs had issues.

Intel gave us defective processors before the tariffs. Intel was losing badly to AMD across the board before the tariffs.

Look my guy, can you just admit it's only been a few weeks and changing the economy from a production economy to a service economy took decades. Hopefully it won't take decades to get back some manufacturing capacity, but you are exhibiting the patience and determination of a gnat.
 
I wonder how much rampant mental health issues and resulting psychiatric medication has on likelihood to have children.

Lots of younger people I see say they can barely take care of themselves, let alone a child. It's hard to comprehend being responsible for a baby, if being responsible for yourself is already overwhelming due to mental illness.

SSRIs don't just dull depression and despair but also positive emotions like happiness and excitement too.
People say they feel like zombies on them. Do zombies want kids?

SSRIs can also have known effects resulting in loss of libido and sexual dysfunction, so perhaps also lack of desire for family and children as well.

Depression and anxiety are rampant, people are told it's just genetic or to pop pills to handle it instead of looking for root causes (as it turns out, often related to overall poor health and nutrition) and poor health can also result in issues like PCOS (where birth control pills are often given to "manage") and infertility.

I know several people who say they can't have kids because they're infertile due to PCOS, another condition which can be improved by improving overall health.
It would also explain why these patterns are everywhere. Global health has declined right alongside birthrates.

I doubt this is the only cause. Financial struggles, social incentives, culture, I'm sure all of those factor in too. But I do wonder about this.
Look at the rates of children with mental illness nowadays. Psychiatric meds being handed out like candy. People on meds lifelong with who knows what kind of long term consequences (SSRI trials typically only last a few weeks or something, so long term effects aren't known).
This might sound like a schizopost but I'm just saying it's worth considering.

Most of Africa is comprised of Chinese vassal states now, thanks to the Belt and Road Initiative.

That's most people these days. It's not even a generation thing, people have become more impatient with each passing year. If they don't see results instantly, they immediately declare it as a failure.

It's like planting a vegetable in the backyard, hoping for more vegetables to grow and going back the next day and going "WHY HASN'T ANYTHING GROWN YET!?!?!?"
 
. The states laws fuck everybody
Hell no they don't, you libertarian dipshit. Laws are fucking necessary and our current politicians are actually the best batch we've had, way less wasteful spending overall. A law passed today is way less likely to be total bullshit compared to the old days.
His book is trash and should not ever be cited by anyone.
then why are his books the de facto APUSH textbook?
If it's from the perspective of Blacks or American Indians I can see the argument for why the American Revolution was bad but if your a standard American White man either poor or rich in that period then siding with the Patriots has a fair amount of upsides. Besides the opportunity of social mobility they also had promises of land and cash.
Let's not forget those land speculators who got absolutely screwed by the 1763 proclamation. Washington himself got fucked when his Northwest Territory speculation went tits up. Only decided to start speaking up after England fucked him out of that money and Patrick Henry led the way in VA. Real talk, he was kind of a massive prick. That famous "stay out of foreign entanglements" speech? He only pulled that out of his ass after his administration completely shit the bed and it looked like the Federalists were gonna get demolished in 1796. Just goes to show politicians have been pulling the same sketchy bullshit since day fucking one.
And China’s ongoing one looks even worse with the projection
two more weeks till china collapses
Because the tarrifs are temporary
not true
Everything is rigged to keep women single and dependent on the system (while also keeping them in the workforce). The system is primed to fuck men financially as hard as possible for knocking women up and to discourage them from committing to a permanent relationship (partially by encouraging promiscuity and infidelity, but also by making it trivial for women to rob men blind and strip them of all dignity in family courts).
I bet the Americans didn't set this shit up to be dicks, they probably thought World War 3 was gonna pop off any minute. Their logic was probably like "when all the dudes are off fighting, we're gonna need the women keeping those factory lines running until we win this thing."
