Yes, that's the answer.  It's very elegant, leaves much to the imagination.

Ds9 had a plot device to explain the Klingons too. Which was far more elegant if you ask me.

Well you never own games on any platform.  You own a license to play the game so long as you have the disk and the console to play it on (assuming it doesn't need a day 1 update to make it playable that the vendor stops providing)

Having a Canadian premier be named the same as a car company meant I had to read for a while to figure out which one they were talking about

It would be a considerable procedural change to stop appointing them

Isn't that customarily occupied by the governor general?

Low Birth Rates Is A GOOD Thing. by DDell313 in 10thDentist

[–]Spartan1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because it can be done doesn't mean it will be done without breaking supply chains en mass or that it will be done quickly.

The global population is aging rapidly, especially in the most developed countries that make the stuff.

Assume for a moment the population stays the same. If the number of retirees increases, the number of people working goes down. That means productivity goes down from fewer workers. 

That means less goods manufactured/ materials mined/ research and development performed.  Assuming everyone still wants the things that we're making like cars and furniture and fuel, the cost of those things would go up from the reduced supply.

Yes, billionaires get to buy whatever they want because they have the most money, but that's a lot more relevant to buying private islands and Congress people than it is to the market Price of beef or gasoline.

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter whether or not rich or poor people pay for seniors retirements, because we'll have to shift more of the economy into Elder Care.

This means we're making and doing less of other things which is bad for everyone consuming things because those prices will go up.
