It would be very hard to start a show like Sesame Street because of the fascist right. Swings and roundabouts.

He knows, but does he care? Does it actually matter to him? I have been watching and meeting all too many people who have no idea just how dangerous the world can be when there's no rule of law and institutions protecting us. They want through life focusing on little personal gains and never truly understand how bad the world gets once Conservatives start showing their fascist foundations and the mask comes off.

The extra fun part is that all post industrial revolution countries have flat or falling populations. This includes Europe, Russia, China, Japan, South Korea, North America and parts of South America, and parts of the South Pacific. All of these regions need to import people if they want to keep using the same productivity and economic systems. The sheep lack of people is going to start causing major issues on all fronts.

This is going to put nations in a position to compete for immigrants with each other. It's going to be a buyer's market for young adults. Collectively, they need to make their labor more dear and nations need to treat people better to get and keep them in the future.

There's plenty of material on the stages of population change in developing nations: https://youtu.be/Ufmu1WD2TSk

The demographic transition model continues to be reasonable on track around the world: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_transition

That is a gute Idee.

I'll make a note and see if I can convince someone to tag along for our appointment.

So far my German immigration process has been hazy at every step. It's more like the information isn't clear and the process requires careful reading of shifting rules all the time. Not so much antagonism, more like underfunded infrastructure.

Pride wasn't a parade. Pride was a riot. The parades are the compromise to stop lighting things on fire until people were treated as people.

We're now talking big about 200% tariffs! Soon we'll keep upping them to 400 and 1000% to make us feel bigly.

Truly the dumbest timeline.

There was some way to either steal a "dirty" magazine, buy one from an older teenager, or check out the one you found at your friend's house that his dad had in a drawer somewhere.

If all else failed, there was always the Sears catalog.

Pitching your desire to block pornography against the collective sex drives of the whole populace is a recipe for you losing and look stupid doing it.
