@DeliverooHelp The help section doesn't let me create a ticket without an order. I haven't made any order because I cannot avail the discounts. It isn't cost effective otherwise.

[Md. Ehsanul Haque Nitol @ehsan_nitol]

@DeliverooHelp you gave me a discount code but none of the supermarkets in my location are eligible for it. What's the meaning of this?

[Md. Ehsanul Haque Nitol @ehsan_nitol]

Tried to order with all three, to none this discount gets applied to.

I’m sharing my slide deck on the demographic future of humanity,

🔗 Slides: https://t.co/geZQFXwN8h

prepared for the keynote address I will give tomorrow to the 7th EBRD and CEPR Research Symposium on “The Economics of Demographic Change”:

🔗 Symposium: https://t.co/L9Hn1fKA8A

Here are a few key ideas I’ll be discussing tomorrow, some of which even economists tracking population trends may not fully appreciate:

1️⃣ Fertility is falling everywhere: rich and poor countries alike, booming and stagnating economies, secular and religious societies. The decline is happening far faster than anyone anticipated, even me, ten years ago!

2️⃣ For example, Colombia’s fertility rate is 1.06, Iran’s is 1.44, and Turkey’s is 1.48, all of which are below the U.S.

3️⃣ The decline accelerated around 2014, well before the COVID pandemic.

4️⃣ As a result, humanity’s fertility is likely already below the replacement rate.

5️⃣ Many assume the replacement rate is 2.1 children per woman. That’s true for rich, advanced economies. But not for emerging economies, where selective abortion and higher young female mortality push the replacement rate higher. Thus, for humanity, the replacement rate is closer to 2.2.

6️⃣ The 2024 UN World Population Prospects are riddled with data and forecasts that, frankly, make little sense to my coauthor Patrick Norrick (at @AEI) and me.

7️⃣ Most of the differences in economic growth among advanced economies over the past 35 years can be attributed to demographic factors. Once adjusted for this, Japan’s economic performance is roughly on par with the U.S. (See my paper with Gustavo Ventura, @King_ofSweden, and Wen Yao, The Wealth of Working Nations):

There are many other ideas (I could talk about this for hours!), but here’s the punchline: the world’s fertility crisis is worse than you thought, even after considering you already thought it was bad.

@AmazonUK any chance I can get early access to Alexa+ please? Pretty please with little cherry on the top.

[Md. Ehsanul Haque Nitol @ehsan_nitol]

Hey @AmazonUK how is this exactly 50% discount?

If I am paying 53 pound now and one year later it would be 69.99 pound?

[Md. Ehsanul Haque Nitol @ehsan_nitol]

@HaierEurope I sent a support query related email on 4 December and yet no reply. Do you usually take this long?

[Md. Ehsanul Haque Nitol @ehsan_nitol]

@Revolut I will consider if you offer a yearly subscription for 20 euro a month. Otherwise as a long standing Metal user I don't see the point. Now would you give me that? 👀

[Md. Ehsanul Haque Nitol @ehsan_nitol]

@Revolut why don't you let me order a new card with the same details? Local banks allows it in instance for damaged card, why can't you?

[Md. Ehsanul Haque Nitol @ehsan_nitol]

@dublinbusnews how is it possible that not a single one of the schedule bus from 5PM to 5:50 PM doesn��t come or get cancled? I think there were five buses during this schedule prr TFI app. 40D route

@VirginMediaIE Why is your customer service is closed on a Saturday when online says it is open today?

[Md. Ehsanul Haque Nitol @ehsan_nitol]

@NinjaKitchenUK hey do you offer a 30 day price guarantee / match for products purchased through Amazon?

I bought your 5 piece stainless steel set and now it is selling for 70 euro less even before prime day.

[Md. Ehsanul Haque Nitol @ehsan_nitol]

@AmazonHelp I am not asking for a refund. I am asking you to honor the price difference which is within 30 days.

[Md. Ehsanul Haque Nitol @ehsan_nitol]

@AmazonUK wish u wld honor the 30 day price guarantee properly. Such a difficult process, refund on return and then order back again. Ordered @SharkNinja only to see the price significantly going down. Your associates just wasted my time back and forth giving me hope for no good.

[Md. Ehsanul Haque Nitol @ehsan_nitol]

@RevolutApp Let's go! Just don't ask for insane amount of money to get it.

[Md. Ehsanul Haque Nitol @ehsan_nitol]

Hi @RevenueIE it has been more than one month your online portal to submit past years tax return is not working. I have already submitted query, called your support but to no avail. Is this normal to go with?
