Build the economy and fund education and social programs. Fight corruption hard.

Its not glamorous or exciting but its what works in the long run.

Why do people turn to crime? Maybe a few idolize Pablo Escobar and the like, but the vast majority are trying to get by, feed their families and bring their kids through school. If legal work has you slaving away for a pittance that won’t even feed your family and corrupt governments take away money meant for the betterment of the community you start to see why some people stop caring or see illicit means as their only way out of poverty.

Education. An educated populace means a skilled workforce, which leads to better paying jobs and a chance out of poverty. I don’t think the choice between a good paying job in an international pharmaceutical company and a dangerous drug lab is a difficult one when you have legitimate options on the table.

Seriously the onion can’t keep up with reality.

That’s how these types of collapses work though.

Everything just barely holds together and then the literally straw that breaks the camel’s back hits and then it all goes to shit in an instant.

They’re keeping it together but at what cost? We can clearly see the social and demographic cost that will hit in a decade, we can see the economic costs hitting but how long till that manifests into something they can’t policy their way out of is a big question.

Frankly this is all of them.

They only care about Palestine insofar as it furthers their own political goals. Its low hanging fruit for them to stroke the religious and nationalistic fires in their people and redirect their attention away from issues like the economy and civil rights.

Here are a few reasons why thats not true

1. People talking about these guys being dumbasses does not equate to people taking climate change seriously.

2. There is limited bandwidth for publicity, these morons are taking publicity away from people actively doing the research, enacting changes, building things the help mitigate climate change.

3. They give the opportunity for climate change deniers to lump all climate change activists together with these idiots, allowing them to replace the message of “Act against climate change” to look at all these dumbass climate change activists.

No need to worry. That problem eventually resolves itself as any sub that fails to submerge will eventually get sunk by enemy action and successfully sink in the end.

This is the new normal for highly developed economies. The best they can hope for is a 1 to 1 replacement of their population. We’re not likely to see another baby boom occur.

We’re not going to see a typical population pyramid any more. Because that means a large infant death rate and either war, disasters or a massive suicide epidemic cutting away the young adult population to get the pyramid shape.

Made a comment about tankies in lemmy getting mad over some news about China getting hit with influence ops by the US. Believe it or not, ban.

They could also conscientiously object and just not take the case.

Hello, Nobel prize foundation?

Yes, this man right here!

Excuse you.

China to this day still can’t bloody land spent rocket stages safely away from populated areas and you want them to fire off radioactive material into space and hope it doesn’t accident crash land back on populated areas?

I did not have sexual relations with that woman.

Welcome to Japan, where everything, especially their mentality is fatally stuck in the glory days of the 1970/1980s.

Even today they still use fax and computer usage is the office middling and general computer literacy is abyssal.

Have fun with that but please be careful with them. Lithium battery fires are no joke. I would suggest a secure steel lock box to store away when not in use. Or keep it out of the house.

Lithium fires are fast, aggressive and impossible to properly extinguish. Once started they are self propagating and can only be doused until it’s essentially exhausted.

This is what happens when you have a government with lack luster privacy laws.

EU citizens have less to worry over this.

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?
