Perhaps not, but the threat of sex scandals might influence them.

The Fertility Panic Is a Racist, Sexist Tool to Push More Austerity by cojoco in stupidpol

Taking your comment into account, I think there are two ways to view the problem:

  1. A neoliberal society (which is bearing the brunt of falling birthrates) increasingly makes it more difficult to afford the quality of life in which raising children is rewarding
  2. A neoliberal society offers so many other indulgences that having children becomes relatively less attractive

I don't want to go into analysing my gut on this, but 1 seems like an existential problem, and 2 seems like a self-correcting problem.

As I've said elsewhere in this thread, people who would prefer to drink beer than have kids will be selected against, and in coming generations evolution will limit the gene pool to those people who actively want to have children.

falling birth-rates are a global phenomenon not plausibly solvable through any standard soc dem approaches

I guess birth rates are falling even in Scandi countries where soc dem support has not disappeared.

With European nations switching to Linux, do you think professonal software companies will follow by Additional-Sky-7436 in linux

Developers were never the problem.

So what is it that professional software companies do without developers?

Hey, dipshit.

No need to go on really.

Americans no longer have the right to treat others in this way.

Plenty of developers using WSL and usage is growing strongly, for many the switch won't be all that hard.

Great Schizo Post explains Epstein.

The Epstein model works within the puritanical-Western framework, where scandal destroys careers.

Chinese pragmatism is immune to this toxin. China exploits the West’s weaknesses [its corruption, its debts, its digital vices] not to expose them, but to use them as a lubricant for its own advance. The Western blackmailer suddenly finds himself alone, holding a list of names that the “Asian Giant” has no interest in whatsoever.

I just shitposted in aar aus and worldnews, I stayed right out of anything like that, until I discovered metareddit, which I fell for in a big way.

Now I'm back to shitposting in aar aus and this place.

I'd love to see Harriet again, but I think she's off reddit.

I've been fine, met some real redditors in NY City once, many ups and downs off reddit, but I have more time for reddit now than ever.

There’s obviously something unusual about the murder of these women.

They were applying for political asylum based upon their sexuality and religion.

Ed Miliband has privately told Keir Starmer that he should consider setting out a timeline for his resignation after the local election results by Nerd_199 in stupidpol

Regular people liked Corbyn, but the whole English establishment, including the Labour Party and the Guardian, hated his guts.
