This could easily be fixed if law makers made housing affordable and stopped corporations from artificially inflating prices.:unimpressed:

It's too late. The big three private equity firms(Blackrock, vanguard, state street) own the American economy and have their hands in the retirement accounts of most of the country. Combined, all three have access to assets worth more than the GDP of entire countries.

They've embedded themselves in the stock portfolios of nearly every politician, and most investors you know. Own apple stock? So does Blackrock and they own a stupid amount of shares. Own Google shares? So does state street.

The only way out of this involves a second great depression where literally trillions of dollars of value is gone.

Tech companies have also embedded themselves in most things. You want to sell a product? Give Amazon a cut. You want to develop an app? Give Google and Apple a cut. You want to make a website? Amazon web services gets a piece. These companies have a massive presence on a service most people use, and most government services are moving online.

The global economy as it currently exists needs to collapse in order for people to build something better in its place. The good news is that with these tech companies going all in on AI that isn't ready and firing thousands of people a month, that collapse may happen sooner rather than later. Millions of unemployed people who can't make enough money on gig work, can't afford to pay rising rents, and can't even pay into government systems because they have such low income the tax revenue the government can get out of them is less than half of what they expect. Those people aren't having children, or are having a max of one or two and those kids aren't making enough money, have miserable childhoods and won't become parents.

This means lower tax revenue for government, a loss of retail investors for companies, reduced revenue for banks, and reduced revenue for tech. People won't buy a Netflix subscription if they can't heat their homes. People might spend all day on social media screaming at each other and blaming each other instead of who's really behind this, or because they're not working they'll all start talking about how they lost their jobs and where the future went. And certain patterns will emerge and they'll realize who the authors of their pain actually are. You see it now with growing levels of fascism, but also growing levels of anti capitalism online. People are being radicalized at an alarming rate and it's only going to accelerate.

With every action there is a reaction, the powers in the west that be can’t kick the can down the road anymore

Hopefully developing countries see what’s happening and try to avoid that path

With vision-language-action models (VLAMs) AI models rapidly becoming more sophisticated, we will likely be able to build robots in 10-15 years that can do all that shyt for us.

We good :whew:

As someone whose wife is dealing with infertility, yes it’s that serious.

The demand for progesterone is that high, that it’s not readily available.

Some women do the right thing, wait for marriage, and it’s not as easy to get pregnant. By the time she meets the right one, and you’re financially stable, there may be other factors affecting your fertility.
