*Procedure, a treatment is to relieve negative symptoms

I think this is probably alarmingly accurate

Idk if Bill Gates bought a tesla though

These were probably the same Iran invasion plans he had been letting like Kid Rock look at and were likely seen by numerous spies.

I thought that’s what Mar A Lago is for him

I think its more that the republican party sees its vision for the future of america looking a lot like a Russian-style oligarchy so there are a lot of republicans communicating with Russia on how to make that happen.

The deaths of children will forever prevent america from being a hero here. So we’ve just created a new enemy, likely a more cunning one than the last.

Idk if that’s a shitpost as much as its kind of absurdist humor.

This was the best shitpost we’ve had in some time and it has a clear agenda:

Who the fuck has “no agenda”? I’d like to meet this fully ass fictional person.

Every shitpost is a political post. Tell me why you feel this is more political than the post about global corporation KFC’s rubber nuggets.

What could possibly go wrong?

Thats right. When a school or hospital is bombed its only terrorism if the bomb wasn’t made by a fortune 500 company.

What a better world you’re imagining.

This is an oversimplified explanation. I think its more complicated than this, there’s a rural urban divide as well and kids have historically been effective farm workers in some capacity. So if pre-industrial areas or agricultural communities utilize child labor, then kids become a very immediate return on investment.

This cost for kids changes in industrial societies where work is overseen by factory managers and kids get put into dangerous positions without oversight. The incentives become fucked and kids start getting crippled. Sending kids off to school starts to become a better return.

This is also evident in demographics where industrialization is immediately followed by declining birth rates.

If you gave parents money for kids doing well in school, it would lead to a lot of weird conflicts but it might offset the basic financial incentives around children.

Education is tied to delayed children not reduced children. Again, the birth rate drop precedes education.

The explanation I recall is that in agricultural communities, kids have historically been able to do a lot of the labor. This means the more kids you can have the more goats you can feed, etc.

In industrial environments, kids tend to not be able to do the labor. They lose fingers etc. So parents educate their kids in hopes it will increase job prospects. Each kid then costs more money and are not good investments.

Its just the calculus of child labor.

Also those people are getting swole while they shovel snow.

Protip: the low incomes are dependent on children. If you have a kid your income goes down

Landlords of course want 100% of everybody’s paychecks.

The US isn’t fully industrialized and we do kind of have some protected “pre-industrial lite” style religious communities like the Amish that distort population rates and previously used high immigration rates to sustain the economy until like sept 11th 2001.

Like the real problem is time and diversions. More diversions = less boredom = less fucking. More hours and jobs = less fucking. I’m pretty sure you can directly correlate advertising revenue with lower birth rates.
