  • World population will reach a maximum of 9 million and then slowly decline as birth rates have fallen massively everywhere. However, in some countries the birth rate has fallen so much that it will be a huge problem. In those countries young people will have almost no peers while growing up, and in the context of Democracy old people will have a majority. See the Kurzgesagt video for what live will be like in South Korea: https://youtu.be/Ufmu1WD2TSk

  • JD Vance lashes out at ‘profoundly wrong’ Supreme Court Chief Justice

    Jump

  • This, but also there is massive competition for getting Trumps favor among his minions. A public statement like this pleases Trump, and so Vance gets to be a bit closer to daddy. Trump loves this type of competition among his underlings, and so all of them attempt to outcompete each other in stupidity.

  • It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System

    Jump

  • Yes indeed. You should ask your parents about the aunts and uncles you would have had if only smartphones had been invented 2 decades earlier. I am sure they will have tons of stories to tell /s.

  • Lol… yes my classmates died en masse.

  • House GOP unveils plan to raise debt limit by $4 trillion

    Jump

  • Dems hold the key because there will be some GOP holdouts in both the house and senate. It is imperative to vote against the proposal because 1. It is good politics, and 2. It puts some breaks on executive overreach.

    However, prepare to find those same centrist Dems who did not want to extend the debt ceiling under Biden vote in favor of this proposal to look BiparTiSan.

  • The world is now reversing course to reject Trumpism

  • It’s a Facebook link… maybe at least give a blurb on why I should click it.

  • TIL- The idea of how much you can afford to buy with your income is called “real income.” And if real income falls, that’s called a recession.

    Jump

  • GNI still gives a slightly better measure of income which is what OP was asking for. For instance if an American gets dividend income from a foreign company that’s part of GNI but not GDP, and vice versa if a US company pays dividends to a foreign shareholder. But yeah in practice all of this will be negligible.

    Jump

  • Real GDP is adjusted for inflation. That’s what the term Real means. Nominal GDP is not adjusted. I always think that reporting should primarily focus on real GNI per capita, which is slightly more informative than real GDP, but in practice I think the differences won’t be shocking.

    Jump

  • There is a variable called Gross National Income (GNI) corrected for inflation which is likely the variable Wolfers refers to. You can report it, but it will not be very different from GDP corrected for inflation which the media writes about all the time. Essentially production =income except for some small nuances.

  • Republicans propose taxing EVs at 10x the rate gas cars pay, increasing deficit

    Jump

  • Wait what? Aren’t CO2 emissions caused by burning fossil fuels? Why wouldn’t you want to tax those?

    Cocaine "no worse than whiskey," would be "sold like wine" if legalized worldwide, Colombia's president says

    Jump

  • I mean, yes, but by the same token beer is far less lethal than whiskey. Our response to that is to sell beer in pints and whiskey in smaller glasses. Just wondering why such an approach would be impossible for drugs.

  • Intention of holding eggs

    Jump

  • You seem to misunderstand me (deliberately??). Obviously female cats carry and nurse the young, but they also hunt, protect their territory etc (I.e. all the tasks you ascribed to males in your previous posts), because they live solitary.

  • Intention of holding eggs

    Jump

  • You are just making this up as you go along. I can disprove your theory by the animal living in my house: cats live solitary lives and therefore do not divide tasks between genders. The idea that females primarily take care of children makes no sense since in most species (incl. most mammals) kids grow up pretty quickly. In most animals there is no sharp distinction of tasks between males and females.

  • Intention of holding eggs

    Jump

  • This is such an insane statement. In biology almost any kind of sexual behavior has been observed including male species who carry the young in their body (sea horses), species that are both male and female, species that change gender during a lifetime, species without gender etc etc. Literally anything goes in the biological world.

  • No issues here

    Jump

  • I think it depends a bit on where the cat is. If my cat is in somebody’s yard and the owner does not like it, it’s perfectly fine to spray my cat with water. In fact I do the same to my neighbours cat to prevent cat fights. If my cat is on neutral territory, I would be more pissed.

  • Things are about to finally change!

    Jump

  • I do not think they will pass a constitutional amendment, so if Trump runs this will end up in court. I would like to see SC struggling to handle Obamas and Trumps case together.

  • China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’

    Jump

  • Very nice explanation and only nitpicking, but saying that Thorium is much much safer than uranium implies that uranium nuclear plants are unsafe. In reality uranium nuclear power has one of the best safety records in energy production.
