Where is the father? Why isn't he contributing to the lives he's created? Why do men get to walk away from responsibilities and society pick up the tab? Why is the CMS useless (all fathers have to do is work cash in hand or self employed to reduce payments to zero). On the one hand the media spouts capitalist propaganda about the terrible consequences of not producing enough children, but on the other hand the women actually doing it are castigated and denigrated for being stupid. So which is it? Do we need children for the future or not? Are they worth investing in, or not? And if we don't produce enough to maintain the population pyramid scheme, should we open the borders and suck up over population from other regions?

2022 Predictions
PeanutButter replied to Mikhail Liebenstein's topic in House prices and the economy
I suppose the really interesting thing about all this endless debate about CHOOSING and TRUST is that once you get sick enough it's completely taken out of your hands. Your family decide, or the (apparently most loathed) medical staff. -
So you swore at a minimum wage phone worker doing their job, probably one of dozens of little tyrants they have to endure remotely cursing them daily. Feel good? Puffing the old chest out with pure British pride? Gosh I take it back, just seen you’re on the New Year honours list, well done. This is definitely what made the empire great.

I’ve never claimed to be anything other than a bog standard office drone 😎 with almost no aspirations or merit of any kind. It’s the people claiming to be rich/clever/special I tend to suspect around here… -
2022 Predictions

Right OK, the reason I asked is because vaccine hesitancy is higher in this specific demographic. I don't just randomly pull minority groups out of a yarmulke to persecute https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-55903096 There's even studies about it (and how to turn it around) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8127857/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/anti-vaccine-ad-by-orthodox-group-briefly-takes-over-crown-heights-bus-stop/ https://religionnews.com/2021/09/03/unvaccinated-people-die-declare-orthodox-rabbis-in-new-video-ad/ -
2022 Predictions
PeanutButter replied to Mikhail Liebenstein's topic in House prices and the economy
You do realise that this is a free, anonymous internet forum of long-standing, based around the premise that house prices may/should/could/won't crash and that bar blatant hate criming/off topic we are allowed to type anything we want? Or are you suddenly the internet police? I always find it hilarious when so-called freedomers find That One Thing* they don't want people to be free to question. * It's often more than one thing. -
There’s nothing coming on and everything that took a while to sell has disappeared. People are desperate. You either renegotiate or pull out completely and wait for the spring rush. I would pull out. If there’s no where to buy then any amount of extra cash won’t make a difference. Edit to add: if your agent is pestering tell them how much you’d love to also buy through them as well as sell, and ask for priority access on all new suitable properties in exchange for staying with them.

PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ constantly cycle through ground, air and water, study finds https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/dec/17/pfas-forever-chemicals-constantly-cycle-through-ground-air-and-water-study-finds PFAS are a class of chemicals used across dozens of industries to make products water, stain and heat resistant. Though the compounds are highly effective, they are also linked to cancer, kidney disease, birth defects, decreased immunity, liver problems and a range of other serious diseases. The study highlights the chemicals’ mobility once they’re released into the environment: PFAS don’t naturally break down, so they continuously move through the ground, water and air and their longevity in the environment has led them to be dubbed “forever chemicals”. They have been detected in all corners of the globe, from penguin eggs in Antarctica to polar bears in the Arctic. The Stockholm research team collected aerosol samples between 2018 and 2020 from Andøya, an Arctic island, and Birkenes, a city in southern Norway. It found correlating levels of PFAS and sodium ions, which are markers of sea spray. The chemicals’ transfer occurs when air bubbles burst as waves crash, and the study found that PFAS can travel thousands of kilometers via sea spray in the atmosphere before the chemicals return to land. Some regulators and the chemical industry have long claimed that dumping PFAS into the ocean is an appropriate disposal method because it dilutes the waste to a safe level. The study concluded that the approach isn’t safe because the chemicals are returned to land, which can pollute drinking water sources, among other issues.

Coronavirus - potential Black Swan?
PeanutButter replied to LetsBuild's topic in House prices and the economy
But for the last few billions of years all viruses have been natural. It's only in the last 10 years there's even been the possibility that humans could tweak one. So you're saying the point of arguing back and forth with no real evidence or hope of ever obtaining any is useful because it could 'erode people's faith in governmental authority' but why is that a goal? -
