what if instead of being evil eugenicists we just paid people not to have excesses of children

@icedquinn Most models are predicting a shortage of kids in the US and similar things seem to happen when developing countries start educating women.

@swiley letting women work has had.. complicated ramifications.
@icedquinn @swiley

nothing correlates more with birthrates plumetting everywhere than this lol
@orekix i'm not against the thesis (women working) but there are other existential crises that then need to be addressed in other ways. @swiley
@icedquinn @swiley

dunno man, worked for grandpa and grandma but now there are so many more issues, maybe we should have just listened
@orekix @swiley my pet peeve with this has been the systematic destruction of opportunities to pair bond.

there is no free time (everything is 80 hour work weeks, mandatory overtime) to meet outside school or $job.

and every venue has incrementally said it's inappropriate to flirt in that venue.

so when the fuck are you supposed to do it
@orekix @swiley since corpos demand 24/7 attention, and now women are also doing corpo shit, when does anything that isn't corporate obedience happen? :blobcatdunno:

@icedquinn @orekix The obvious solution is to not give "corpos" 24/7 attention and reject situations that would make avoiding this harder.

@swiley @orekix if you can find a way to get the american public to tell their bosses they're not working >40 hour weeks, and not get fired, let me know.
