  • Looks like you finally finally left your room: https://kotaku.com/esports-gamer-reportedly-leaves-hotel-room-a-horrible-mess-after-two-year-stay-2000654662

    With how much time you spend online, it cannot be far from the truth.

    If you did any amount of research on me, you would see I've got 11 kids of my own and have enough going on that I cannot spam the internet all day long. You really should log out and work on meeting a girl, get some sunlight, and step outside your bubble. You are a fun adversary but I'm starting to worry about you.

  • Europe and East Asia have been looking for policies to improve demographics. Nobody has a workable plan.

  • That's one of your better photos. Keep it up, someday you'll find a girl.

  • Are you telling me that socialists don't purchase? Even intragovernmental transactions count as purchases.

  • Look up the data yourself, then. It is the same no matter who looks it up.

  • The capital you rely on in your argument has a asymptote, and as China approaches this line, growth will happen at a diminishing rate. How much technical progress can they squeeze out of the tube? Is it enough to deal with demographic collapse? Probably not.

  • China also has a huge gender imbalance. All those excess men count differently than men in other countries with a balanced gender dynamic. Also, China's demographics (according to the website) do not compare favorably to the US. That said, it'll be India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria and places like this that production shifts to as China ages.

  • War in Venezuela? Yes, it's war in Venezuela.

  • We are also seeing peak China. Their demographic problems will be a severe drag going forward. It'll be a multi-power world, not a Chinese hegemony.

  • On another platform, someone claimed he was maronite christian. I guess I'll have to wait until someone asks him in an interview. 🤷

  • Social security does need reform. There's no reason we should cap contributions. We also need more nuance by ability and type of work one does when we determine retirement ages.

  • Once they make it a habit of destroying ships in the Russian shadow fleet, availability of crews and insurance will dry up, further reducing Russian economic power, pushing Russia closer to the tipping point. Ukraine doesn't need to destroy them all, just make it so most ships are unwilling to do Russia's business.

  • You are going to have to explain why PPP isn't appropriate for non-capitalist countries. Besides, what country isn't capitalist in this analysis? A country calling itself communist does not make it so.

  • These are not my numbers. They come both from the IMF and the World Bank. Chinese GDP per capita PPP is only $29k. By the same measure, the US is $60k. You don't have to believe it. Yes, China is cheap, but low prices produce low incomes to those selling their goods and services.

  • Sorry, I thought you were commenting on krooklochurm@lemmy.ca, who suggested to "have anyone who is following the lord leap off a cliff."

  • I'll be honest, I do not know, but I'm always more worried about where it'll end-up over where it is right now. Even if it is all local for now, it is a small tweak for that to change. Just a small decision by a few people and everything changes. I don't have enough trust to believe that decision won't be made.

  • How so?
