Even just the logistics of taxing unrealized gains would be a nightmare.

US fertility rate dropped to lowest in a century as US births dipped in 2023
magnora7 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 11 days ago

I've read the projections are that world population will peak in 2050 at about 10-11 billion people.

Also the maximum growth rate of the world's population occurred in 1965, amazingly. The rate of exponential growth has been slowing ever since. We're probably on an S curve that will flatten out toward the end of our lives, and we'll see a relatively stable world population for the first time in world history potentially. That will cause huge changes in world culture.

A reasonable correlation

Homelessness in , for instance,California, or New York -- or Oregon, or Washington state, in the last 50 years, versus number of newborns per fertile mothers.

Clearly, women and men are making specific decisions that children born will be under terrible risk f homelessness and poverty.

The basic question to ask - what is the mortgage cost for a standard house in a standard urban neighborhood relative to mean wages ?

Donald Trump’s Unforced Error
Cancelthis[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun 1 month ago

For decades, there was one tried-and-true staple of presidential campaigns: The Democratic nominee would whack the Republican on proposals to reform, cut or privatize Social Security and other entitlements and reap the political rewards.

In the most evocative example of the genre, a 2012 attack ad from a progressive advocacy group showed a character strongly resembling Paul Ryan literally pushing a grandmother in a wheelchair off a cliff.

The former president’s remarks on Social Security open up a familiar and effective line of attack for Democrats.

Imagine that.

The waffled numbers are coming back with numbers intended to complete the latest mini cycle of concocted "data"

As a result of high production and low demand, around 60 GWh of power had to be transferred to Germany and a further 5 GWh to Slovakia and Ukraine on 25 December

This was quite predictable - a lack of batteries in both Ukraine, and in Poland.

Battery installation in Germany would certainly help.

Power lines east and south - but ideally, also the the west.

Poland could be starting to put more offshore.

Poland would also be an optimal off shore wave generator.
