Unfortunately it is an Episode with a lasting Impact in the people and the Planet as a whole (think climate crisis acelerating, ecoelogical collapse etc)

Can’t agree more with ya, i ignored the Impact of such an society to the Individuum, and yes, you need to get that Money either in advance or have to bank on the success of following generations. Which is why a responsible society and government should Always keep the longterm success in their mind, Not blindly chasing shortterm benefits. But alas, this is what we currently have in capitalist societies, and so as you Point Out reality is another Case.

Well If your economic system is not built to sustain your countries people sufficiently, and by means of debt for a small timeframe, what is the Point of your economic system then? Maybe its my Point of View of an entitled European, we learn early in school, that the Economy is there to Support the society, and in Turn the society supporting the Economy. As economic success alone has no inherent purpose by itself. That is also why you can Not govern a Country Like a Corporation, and you can Not govern a Corporation Like a Country. A Country has to govern their society and Economy for long term success, this shaping their economic system Like so.

But the larger older Population will only exist in a (relatively) small time frame, until the (significantly) smaller Young Population have catched Up to that age, thereby eliminating this conundrum. And because you can’t burden the young people of the full Impact of the larger old Population, you should subsidize the hell Out of those benefits to the elderly. Because it is only temporary.

Can’t you See, that when you have a smaller percentage in young folk, you can improve the quality of living (of education, If health Car, infrastructure) for them and the old Folks? As Thread Opener Said, it would Not be profitable, but it don’t have to be in a post-capitalism World. Its sufficient enough for it to become a Zero sum Game, where expenses are the Same as the realized gains. And once the Population has been reduced to a sustainable amount, we as humanity could start over again, then growing in a sustainable way ( and hopefully Out of this planets restrictions). But oh Well, in Out current track record, this all will be nill, AS capitalism will have Destroyed our fixed Environment - earth - by then.

Use BOINC! Support scientific advancement

I guess the First Thing gone wrong, was to use an AI in the first place. This is why there still needs to be Subject Matter Experts, on fields and applications, otherwise, you only get stupid Things and Users incorrectly applying existing tech.

Probably the Formula came from one of those doge Kids, so more likely a Zoomer instead of a boomer.

And i think, they knew full Well, that their numbers were shit and based Off on nothing substantial at all. They Just wanted to hide IT behind some math Formular in Order to Trick the populace. Because its easier to Argument for “an expert approach” instead of “we just made Up some Numbers”

Education can only be used, when there is a side willing to learn. When they disregard history as fiction, there is no point in educating them. You can also see this with the right Shift in rhetoric in German Media and politics with parties Like AfD, BSW and partly CDU, who are straight Up ignoring history or downplaying it.

So, what do you think, the biggest mess will be end of the Line? I for myself am betting on declaring war onto another Country. Or nuclear missiles. Whatever, we are fucked 🤷‍♂️

Sure, lets just pretend that it is normal for a US Government to dictate how other countries democratically elected Leaders are chosen and at what terms they have to resign themselfes from their Position, without any regards to said countries peoples will or democratic proceedings.

It was the communist Party and the left workers party, so both Sides. Because they communist Party declared the left workers Party AS the enemy rather than the NSDAP, Same with the left workers Party.

And yes to the commenter below, who also did Vote itself into government with Hitler were the conservatives back then.

But Point is, both communist and left workers Party not uniting against Faschismus was the enabling factor for the dictatorship that followed.

Remember, when the social democratic Part (SPD) and communist Party (KPD) of late Weimar republic Germany enabled the fascist government of Hitlers NSDAP in 1933. All because they were too focused on fighting each other, thinking that after Hitler, who is sure to fail, they will get greater voter turnout in their respective favor? Yeah, this here has the same vibes.

Spoiler: they did not get their turn or voter turnout because there was no longer a German democratic state (just to make sure us-americans not well-versed in international history understand)

Yeah, Sure, there are various varying cultural differences within the EU, but i for one Like that Part, because, it makes those comparisons more fascinating. Even through the Gap is smaller in Younger employees, the majority still experiences it, as ~60% of our workforce is from the boomer Generation. So as for the individual it won’t mean as much, its still a factor for the populace at large and society as a whole.

Can you send me the Link to the DoL Report? I am not as well-versed on inner-US statistics, so i would Like to ready and Analyse it 😊 On aside Note to the cultural differences, the US should also have this with its hispanic, indigenous and asian populations aside the european-american one. Is there any Analysis on the gender-pay Gap in that regards?

It wasnt meant to be that serious.

And no, the gender pay gap does exist, its calculated within each sector and the difference in Part-Time to full-time work is Accounted for: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Gender_pay_gap_statistics

Although its “only” 12% in reality

Will they start by playing every previous Male 30% less?
