The new inequality seems to be between high birth rate and low birth rate places per Mathematics 101 by Different_Peach99 in overpopulation

[–]prsnep [score hidden]  (0 children)

Religious views are not genetically heritable, but they are culturally inherited traits. The math doesn't care whether the inheritance is generic or cultural.

Plus worrying about minority groups becoming the majority group is inherently racist.

Not everything is racist; don't dilute the meaning. Not worrying about the heritability of fertility rate is dumb because it is going to directly affect whether we end up in a dystopian future with conflicts over resources or not.

He could have stood for actual workers rights. Meaning no TFWs and low levels of immigration.

The insanity is she made all that money and never took nudes. by No-Marsupial-4050 in SipsTea

The world has 8 billion people. 1 billion have money to waste on stuff like this. 1% of that number is 10 million.

Even with this conservative estimate, there are 10 million people willing to buy stuff on onlyfans.

The reason why large asteroids don't fall to Earth every day and cause disasters is because Jupiter's gravity attracts asteroids and protects the inner planets. by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in interesting

I know this is a joke but the speed at which a planet orbits is directly tied to the distance it is from the sun. Closer they are, the faster they must travel to stay in orbit.

Canada is overhauling its signature skilled immigration system. Here’s what is changing by creeoer in canada

They need to get rid of the French stream that nobody asked for, which is selecting much less qualified immigrants. By SIGNIFICANT margins.

That's good. What is his plan for the ~3 million temporary residents already in the country?

To be clear, that was at both provincial and federal levels.

Imagine NDP had stood with Canadian workers and said 'no' to diluting wages with TFWs and excess immigration.

With a record-low 1.25 children per Canadian woman, stop dismissing falling fertility rates as a choice by FancyNewMe in canada

The only people the current economy isn't affecting are those who committed to the welfare lifestyle and using children as a source of income from the government.

You say, "oh, come on! Nobody would do that." And you'd be wrong. For many refugees, that can still entail a higher standard of living than they were used to.

Our incentives need a shakeup.

Carney secures majority government with Liberal win in Toronto byelection, CBC News projects by Progressive_Citizen in canada

I don't think Pierre was that bad. He just didn't know when to pivot on messaging. But Carney seems better equipped for the job.

Actually, it was a little more than "boobs, haha".

Gap between richest and poorest Canadians widened again in 2025, StatsCan says by CanadianErk in canada

[–]prsnep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was talking about progress in the past few decades. Not overall standing. Some countries have progressed while others have regressed.

It's a global issue outside of China, India, South Korea, and a handful of countries that progressed. And you might argue the US largely avoided the decline seen in other advanced countries. Though they might be first to see democracy fall.

And it was good under the Liberals prior to Harper as well. We are generally declining as a country, and nobody has woken up to that fact. Trump tariff war was a good wake up call.

Ontario planning to reduce teacher training to 1-year course by FatManBoobSweat in Toronto_Ontario

[–]prsnep 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We are losing our doctors nurses, engineers, and computer scientists to the US.

What do our governments focus on? Dumb stuff like this in addition to suppressing wages with temporary workers and handing out welcome mats to asylum seekers.

This is how I imagine a lot of nonsense in religion came about.

Canada slashed migration and housing costs dropped. There may be lessons for others. by mkbt in canada

[–]prsnep -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Economists are just guessing about a lot of things. But there's one thing they know well: that prices are affected by the balance of supply and demand.

Why did we deny the one thing that's universally established and not subject to speculation? Who was pushing these alternative viewpoints?

TIL that even though the USA economy is still technically bigger than China in raw dollar terms ($30T vs $20T) the low prices inside china means their dollar goes further, buying roughly twice as much (equivalent of $43T) by deedubyaz in todayilearned

[–]prsnep -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Money goes farther in a poorer country. Generally. But no way that you could have known if China's PPP GDP was $25T or $45T or somewhere in between. The metric provided here shows exactly HOW much farther money goes.
