Can someone please explain why, on a planet with 5 billion too many people and , declining birthrates are a problem?

I'm at a loss.

@LeftistLawyer

As people retire from the workforce, that leaves gaps lower down the workforce to replace those that retire. A lower birthrate means less people to take up jobs in a few years. We are already seeing this.

Granted if we didn't have such inequality then everyone would be able to find good employment as they would also have access to education to help build the skills to fill those jobs.

    It is going to be interestng WHO joins this coalition Isreal does or does not plan to create, so far even the USA has said it won't get involved. No one in the world wants escalation.

    I had a discussion earlier, and asked about the status of a consulate, it seems I was kinda right on the fact a consulate is part of the country it belongs to, so the Iranian consulate in syria is part of Iran, therefore the attack on the Iranian consulate is an attack on Iran. If this is correct under international law, it was unlawful to attack, (regardless of who the target was) so in addition the response from Iran was probably legal and justified (self defense maybe).

    Netanyahu is getting more and more dangerous, even the people of Isreal see that, if the UK carry on supporting Isreal and maintaining the current narrative it will end up also breaching international law, even if we decide to also leave the ECHR we have obligations under other international laws set by other bodies, which are still going to be in place.

    Ok update from Aljazeera

    Israeli officials delete video on posts claiming Palestinians responsible for hospital strike

    Social media accounts belonging to the State of Israel and the Israeli ambassador to the US both appear to have deleted a video on posts claiming that a rocket fired from within Gaza caused the deadly explosion at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.

    The plot clearly thickens as they say

    Following a conversation on here I am asking for some help to work out what products are produced from crude oil and how we can produce alternatives.

    https://www.personaljournal.ca/paulsutton/products-from-crude-oil

    I am throwing this out to the community to between us we can start to gather information and present this so we can make a better argument to reduce and eliminate our need for crude oil.

    Granted some products are going to need some R&D to replace, but maybe that will inspire people to study STEM and undertake that research.

    I talk to people from the UK pretty regularly, I watch a lot of BBC programming, I read a lot of books by authors from the UK, but sometimes they will suddenly use a word I've never heard in my life, and I'm beginning to think they are pranking us, and every other person from the UK is in on the joke, and just validates whatever the other person says!

    Language is wonderful, even regions within countries have their own dialects or words specific to that region.

    Why travel is so important, you learn about cultures and other countries by being there.

    This is quoted from a Daily Mail headline, but the wording to me is just dangerous.

    "Israel PM Netanyahu vows to 'change the Middle East…what Hamas will experience will be difficult and terrible' after defence minister said 'we're fighting animals and we act accordingly'"

    What I see coming is a massacre of anyone living in Palestine, mostly women and children and innocent civilians, unless power, water and other supplies are restored then the death toll is going to be much higher,

    Even George Bush didn't use this language after 9/11 he said something like 'we're going to get the folks that did this'

    The deviousness of the xz backdoor… and yet people think that using FOO language or ditching BAR would have mitigated it.

    I don’t think people realize how vulnerable us free software maintainers are … been doing this for close to 30 years and I’m not surprised in the least. 😠

    Immediate ceasefire or What? Unless Netanyahu is given a stark choice to stop or face severe consequences, he won't stop in Gaza.
