It’s short for “I would have told my kid”

Ukraine has archeological evidence of cities of 20-40 thousand people with no evidence of hierarchy or rulers.

Humans lived for 10s of thousands of years under communism. Capitalism was invented and within a couple of centuries the human race is commiting collective suicide with falling birth rates.

Enough unions to organize it.

His religious argument for progressive values is what makes him a strong candidate for Texas.

Talerico is serving in the state house, Crocket in the national congressional delegation.

Talerico. Brings his sincerity, faith, and working class background in in one of the poorest school districts in the country. He has integrity and and a way of invoking Christianity that I think resonates in Texas. He appeals to a broad swath of voters without compromising his progressive ideals.

I would vote for Crocket if she wasn’t up against Talerico. But as is, I think he has a better shot at the general and I trust him more.

AI. Is huge capital investments. Just tax the wealth. Any fortune over 10 million has to pay 4% of the gross total per year.

He dropped defund the police from his platform back when he was campaigning. Did you miss that?

Getting 2 is generous sometimes.

Sure, but from the ruling class perspective those challenges have been solved.

The issue with a falling population is it fucks with the money. That means the money will fuck with us back.

A fertility of 1.5 is a crisis for capitalism, but it’s a manageable for society. Every class of school children is 75% of the previous generation.

Fertility of 1 means each generation is half the size of the previous one. That’s a challenge to maintaining civilization, not just profits. A Fertility of .7 every generation is 35% the size of the previous.

I’m not saying we have to fuck to save the species, but the doomsayers are not entirely wrong. There will be challenges.

Different strokes.

I had my wife and best friend using signal until they dropped support for sms. Switching between apps was too much for us.

If nothing else the fall in birth rates world-wide will lead to political instability.

If they can maintain the infrastructure of wealth without workers they won’t care what people do, and if they can’t then the surveillance will collapse with the supply chains.

Either way there is an other side to this dark tunnel, not without suffering and death, but there is still hope for resistance to the new facism.

Economies that worked without cash still had debt.

Debt and obligation do not require money, but they do require people that will give you the things you need in exchange for “I’ll owe you one.”

Genz is 13 to 29 nowadays. Kids that age today are alpha.

Also kids that age in the photo unsupervised today can get their parents arrested.

Absolutely.

When you were growing up there were places you could go to be social without phones. Those don’t exist anymore. You can’t go to the mall and meet strangers, that would be weird and creepy. If you turn 21, bars do not have young people in them, they are for older people.

There is nowhere gen z people can go to meet other gen z people except online.

I know there is an exception somewhere but for the vast majority of young people today that’s the truth.

Fox happened in the 90’s, boomers were fucking shit up as far back as Reagan.
