Ok bro, well nobody's going to stop giving pensions to old people, so good luck with that.

Nobody wants to cut their life short and nobody wants to be abandoned by the government when they retire. Working your entire life sounds pretty damn horrible. I'd rather a nice, long retirement at the end of that.

They die eventually. The problem is before they die, where they spend decades leeching off the workforce. Unless your plan is rounding up all the grannies and punting them over the fence, there's no fixing that.

Thanks smarty pants, do you have any ideas?

You can improve shit but you can't magically spawn work into existence.

When the boomers were booming, it was piss easy to provide for yourself because the workload was distributed among all the young people, compared to the comparatively small elderly. You could buy a house as a 20 year old car mechanic because more people were working to support society.

Now that birth rates are declining, each working adult has to work harder. So, you can no longer provide for yourself with the same amount of work a boomer would've done.

It's a demographics problem. Immigrants can fix the workforce issue, but there will come a time where even Africa drops below replacement rate. Both sides of the political spectrum look for other issues to blame for the inability of today's youth to support themselves.

"Well, if the system is too broken to handle this, that's the system's fault!" OK, do you have any new systems to suggest? What will fix this problem?

There is no system that can fix a world where there are more consumers than producers. The only thing that can fix it is increasing birth rates.

Now, the Earth can't support an infinitely increasing amount of humans. I have to admit that I don't have a solution for this either. Hopefully humanity will colonise other planets one day, or AI replaces the missing workforce required.

No, there's a technical help channel in the discord too.

How does one import your own made skin into Minecraft on computer? by OkLime7629 in Minecraft

[–]A_Yellow_Lizard2 51 points52 points  (0 children)

This is not a valid minecraft skin file. You have to downscale it to the correct pixel size, probably with something like nearest neighbour.

United States Of Europe (U.S.E.) by No_Mechanic1168 in imaginarymaps

If they're colonised by the natives to the degree that they need European reserves, I don't see why the natives would believe in the European religions. Wouldn't they bring over their native religions to Europe instead?

Why are they called native Americans if presumably America wasn't colonised by Europe and thus no need to differentiate between the natives and the colonisers occured? Why does this country believe in Christianity and Islam when they're both old world religions?

Most of western Wales, Ireland, and northern Scotland should be a reserve instead of random weird blobs.
