  • Ok you can, but you have to pay for it. Were talking about society as a while. In a fair world if the people collectively borrow money, the next generation will have to foot the bill.

  • Yes, less young folk is lower cost. But more old people is higher cost. So the cost of supporting old folk is higher per young person. Even in a fair world, an aging population is a borden tot the young people. I'm not saying we shouldn't support the old folk, I'm saying there is no magic fix you can achieve by changing how we spend money.

  • I'm not against, but it won't change the facts that every expense can only be made once.

  • I've heard a theory of (grand)children of migrants paroting the people that were already there when their (grand)parents moving there, unaware of it because they don't realise they aren't seen as similar as people who were born there but have 'local' (grand)parents. Something like they try to belong but simultaneously believe they don't do that since they were born belonging there. But I don't know exactly and also might not even apply to Cuban Americans specifically.

  • You can't just borrow or create money to fund things that are not profitable. Not saying infinite population growth is desirable but spending the large amount of resources on old folk does mean not spending it on the young folk = less money to education, health care and infrastructure. It's not fair to reduce real world problems to 'you just need to spend your money wiser'

    Edit: just to clarify the comment I made above, it doesn't say we shouldn't care for retirerees, it is saying you can't keep the price we pay for supporting them the same if the size of the group if old people rises and the group of people who work to pay for it shrinks. An aging population is a burden to any population in any financial system just like a growing population is a boon. Again, that doesn't mean we shouldn't care for old people.

  • Bikes are good for business.

  • In Barcelona they converted the grids so instead of having all traffic on every street it is one for cars in direction a, one for pedestrians and cyclists and then one for cars in the other direction and again one for pedestrians and cyclists etc, they still manage to stock stores etc so it's very possible.

  • Percent changed compared to 2015 would be better, but choosing a graph like this makes no sense if it would have been change yoy and also if that were the case then starting at 0% makes no sense.

  • To be fair, njb actually mentions there are new bike lanes but they are along with the car lanes. As a dutchy (= amateur bike lane expert) I consider this the right move as it slows cars and also brings more peace and quiet to the pedestrians. I totally understand why cyclists would prefer to cycle along this cute little stream, but they are part of the traffic in my eyes.

  • Eu needs to put more pressure on china, I really think they value selling stuff to with 500 million reasonably wealthy people over ideologically supporting 150 million reasonably poor people.

  • Someone in the news because they did something stupid ≠ satire, this should be on !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world or a political/ news community.

    Edit: downvoted this one and crossposted to there, hate me if you want.

  • I guess this does go against the purpose of the community, but is good for US I suppose. I don't know how theyre taxed but as the truth is dying the media needs quality journalists which both nyt and the guardian definitely are I you ask me.

  • European crypto wallets?

    Jump

  • I haven't tried it and the ceo has been criticised for aligning with Trump but you could look into https://proton.me/wallet for your bitcoin (no other cryptos yet I believe). I have been happy with protons service, so can recommend them in general (except for the ceo, but I don't care as much as some other people do).

  • They've left the country a while back, main office is in Amsterdam now. Some editors are in Georgia, I believe the reporters on the ground have to work more like informants than regular journalists to prevent they get captured and sent to prison / die by suicide by 100 bullets in the back / fall out of a window / get poisoned with nuclear waste.

  • This led to a very confusing discussion in the replies about the varying fares and systems of public transit in the Oakland-San Francisco area

    Jump

  • The poorer the country (not on average) the more demand there is for low-cost transit, that demand brings down the price of public transport tremendously because less public money is spend on other (more private) forms of transit. The 'problem' isn't only people loving cars it's also people being able to afford them. In general it also isn't the rich asking for public healthcare and education. The lack of public transport shows the power of the wealthy over the power of the masses.
