All the Neo-Malthusian BS in this thread, holy crap. The “overpopulation is the problem” has got to be one of the best ways for governments, corpos, and the rich to deflect attention from their failures and excesses. Hands down even better than the “personal carbon footprint” propaganda.
earth has a resource distribution/use efficiency issues right now; the rich are greedy and wasteful.
don’t want to have kids? Fine, don’t! Kids deserve parents that want them, and you deserve your autonomy to live your life as more than a means to an end for demographics.
if governments addressed the resource hoarding and waste, more people who want to have kids would have them because they would have enough to have a good quality of life and standard of living, and we would also have addressed things like climate change and dystopic corpo control.

we just forgot how to build houses or something.
Or something, yep. We financialized housing.
We know how to build houses, but we built a system that builds houses for investors to house money, and not for people to house themselves.

And so it goes. Nero fiddled, Putin danced.
Also, Putin may need to divert resources from Ukraine and halt advances there earlier than intended.
Of course, if Putin drops a tactical nuke inside of Russia’s internationally-recognized boarders, will the world care? And if so, how much? Could backfire on Ukraine a bit in the short-term.
1.5% of all deaths in America were caused by COVID excluding those deaths from acute COVID we didn’t count for various reasons, and also those deaths that were caused by residual COVID damage and happened after the acute phase.
Excess mortality: “FTFY”

Me, reading Lemmy replies to my comments and realising that this isn’t what the engineers intended when they gave an IP rating to my phone:

My comrad in crisis, we can’t even keep this planet habitable, or build/select builders for reliable space vehicles after dropping billions of dollars on development and deployment. What makes you think we can even come close to the level of cooperation and competence needed to establish and maintain human habitation on such a hostile world?
Let’s see if we can’t ensure continued habitation on Earth first. Then, maybe, we might have a chance on some other sphere?
Well, thank you for your reasonable response. Have you seen Parks and Rec though? Because your response kind of sounds like it’s continuing the joke…
Could be a 3rd party
But who would benefit from this kind of special political operation?
Oh my god. I can’t get the song out of my head now! Sweet Jesus what have you done to me?!
