    My parents raised me on an acre in a house that my parents built with them both having reasonable salaries. My partner and I make more combined than they ever did we would never be able to give kids a life even close to as good as we had growing up.

    So we aren’t having kids, we will just live as good a life as we can and her nieces will inherit what we have when we die.






  • That is what led me to about a year of Soylent and pho. I couldn’t be bothered to cook for myself often, I was single, had a long commute, worked near a pho restaurant. So I drank a Soylent for breakfast and lunch then had a large beef and brisket pho every day.





  • The Orange R by John Clagett written back in 1978 was describing this feedback loop in its story.

    In the story Nuclear radiation was poisoning the air and scrubbers all over the country were cleaning up the radiation but were using nuclear power to power them creating a huge feedback loop where more radiation was leaking and needing more scrubbers to clean it.

    I won’t give away what they thought about solar power, but it’s awfully close to the same messages that certain orange people say about wind and solar power to this day.

    ETA: it’s amazing that back in the '70s they thought our future would be nuclear pollution from power plants while they had polluting coal plants and now 50 plus years later we still have polluting coal plants.
