@juggernaut879@ViviTechInvest@LeadingReport Technology makes comfortably supporting a $15b population feasible. But demographics will make that point moot. At the end of this century the big issue will be population collapse, and whether it’s possible to sustain a population big enough for interplanetary colonization.
@RealAskdheeraj@KobieThatcher I’d rather just increase the voting age, and perhaps increase the weighting for married parents. As a group, the young are mostly lazy and dumb and will vote to receive free stuff, regardless of the long term consequences, and they will rationalize it any way they can.
@MrFakeStreet@KobieThatcher It’s an awful idea, unless you’re trying to put the fate of Australia into the hands of the people most likely to know best and have the greatest stake in its success. As opposed to politicians who promise to give free stuff to the young, unproductive and/or lazy.
@MWill2025@SydneyLWatson What a windbag. If it's fair to generalize (it isn't) and impute guilt based on acts done by others (which is wrong), then he should first consider the barbarism, horror and misery inflicted by his own people throughout history. Stupid, low-IQ perpetual victim BS.
@DKThomp Whatever. I'm with the militant middle, violently opposed authoritarian regimes, whether fascist or socialist.
And I recognize that the enemy of my enemy is probably just another enemy.
@DefiantLs Constitutional right? Didn't the Supreme Court explicitly state that biological men do not have a constitutional right to play in women's sports?
@BernieSanders How about instead everyone pays the same tax rate, the government spends less, and you quit trying to confiscate the (unrealized illiquid) wealth of your most productive citizens? Envy less.
@Slatternine@jessesingal There needs to be name for his obnoxious pathology of injecting the Israel-Palestinian conflict into every discussion. Sorta like ‘Godwins law’, but even bigger idiots.
@DarbyTheDog11@texasrunnerDFW In the 1980s Gatorade was for football players with rich parents.
If you drive down into Mexico you won't see many water bottles, and yet, they live.
@FuatYaman1978@Georg_Pazderski Serious request - can you link to one of these videos? I've seen a bunch of Palestinian kids singing about killing Jews, but I haven't yet seen any of Jewish children singing about killing Arabs.
@DarbyTheDog11@texasrunnerDFW I went to junior high school in the early 80s in Texas. It was hot. In the car we'd scorch the back of our legs on the seat belt buckles we didn't use. No one carried water bottles. In school we drank from the water fountain. No one got dehydrated. People today are soft.
@GersonF02702443@_Floper No, it's cheating. It may be common among elite players who know how to get away with it, but it's still cheating, and I f***ing hate cheaters. It's wrong when Messi does it, it's wrong when Ronaldo does it, and it's wrong when the referees see it and let them get away with it.
@Airaswe Yes. And the threshold for feeling their life is in danger should be very, very low when protestors are in the road illegally, trying to force cars to stop. Make this a law, and after a few of them get run over these obnoxious protestors will stop blocking traffic.
@UmairAnsaari@AffordAnything The Soviet Union and China used cards so effectively that tens of millions without cards died of starvation. Sure kept the kulaks from gaming the system!
@libsoftiktok Is there a law that would prohibit a person from offering free beer all day long, the day the Minocqua brewery burns to the ground? Asking for a friend.
@AhmadRehanKhan You've got it backwards. Criticizing ("attacking") the establishment is a core pillar of free speech. Meanwhile the Economist sees immigration policy as off-limits to discussion and slaps the label "far right" or "racist" on anyone who is critical.
@sa10nee I'd feel sorrier for Messi if he hadn't tried to get Cucurrella red-carded. That was a real dick move. I hope he spent some time to reflect on his team's disgraceful behavior. In the end the best team defeated both Argentina and the VAR.
