Increased worker productivity via technology can also help here. Also, immigration.

Are they comfy and easy to wear?

I thought you were talking about short pants for a second before I read the body.

And yes, I do hate wearing shorts, because I have ugly knees.

…

No, I mean people choose jobs which pay money and are widely available. When jobs to care for the elderly pay well and are widely available relative to other, less necessary work, then people will respond by seeking those jobs. This may require additional training. That’s fine. People will get this training in search if the relatively higher wage. This is basic economics.

Guess what, I didn’t have friends then

Weird, I don’t even know what film this is from. And yet here I am, replying to this comment.

Yes, this is a blatant shitpost. I’m sorry.

I don’t understand how the Internet is so anti kids, it’s pretty baffling.

Because people who are chronically online are chronically online because they had shitty childhoods which gave them chronic depression. Thus they associate the creation of children with the creation of suffering.

Evolution is just natural eugenics.

People really thinks the grocery store would just leave moldy strawberries out…

1. The human brain is a spectrum, and is highly malleable. There aren’t types of people - just people with more or less predisposition for certain traits.

2. That’s not how evolution works. Groups of humans don’t just naturally produce the “emergency thinker” phenotype when the group has too few. Individual genetic lines might find a set of local minima that work to them and stick to it, but this is because it is beneficial to those genes fitness - not because it benefits the group.

To enhance his public image

Why would he want/need to do this? There are a bunch of other billionaires in the world who have basically no public image whatsoever - why wouldn’t he just do that? And if he is so concerned about his reputation, why would he constantly draw the public’s eye towards the one thing that would ruin his reputation if he actually is embezzling money through his charities?

If Bill is so philanthropic, why does he keep $110bn outside his charity and only $42bn inside.

Because when your money is more liquid it is more flexible? Idk, ask him.

Right, but then why would he constantly talk about it? Why wouldn’t he just say “yeah, I donate a lot to charity”, feign ignorance about the concept of effective charities, and then arbitrarily dole out money to a mix of innumerable small local charities and shell charities which feed back into his pocket? Like, the number one rule of doing crime is “don’t draw attention to yourself when you are committing crime”. You don’t announce to all your coworkers that you are going to the kwikymart 5 minutes before you rob the kwikymart.

As the size of the working population declines, labor will reallocate itself from less necessary positions to more necessary ones. So the proportion of the population that would have worked at McDonalds, for example, would work in nursing homes instead.

The context is that OOP got catfished by a dude. The joke is that they were naive enough to fall for it in this day and age.

I think (2) is the far more likely scenario.

The way you are sidestepping the question makes the answer obvious.

I wish you the best. But at the same time, I doubt you’ll reach many people without a product that most people actually want to enjoy.

They did. You just weren’t paying attention, and it was only one day of the class. And it was one of the easy exam questions, so you didnt remember struggling on it.

No, I think the Dems need a different strategy than the GOP, rather than fruitlessly trying to emulate them.

Our goal is to make erotic content that features regular (well, slightly unconventional admittedly…) people with regular bodies

So… are you saying you aren’t hot? Because I kinda doubt the market penetration you’ll get if you aren’t hot.

There will be so few able bodied humans extant to perform basic upkeep in 20 years that fundamental infrastructural systems will not JUST be crumbling to dust from sheer neglect as they are now, but actively self-destructing from sustained systemic cascade failure.

Pretty doomerist of you. I’m honestly not concerned about declining populations. Better for the environment, and we’ll figure out the rest through straightforward economics.
