Low wages is a problem that will fix itself. When there was a shortage of truck drivers, wages for truck drivers went up.

That’s how a market economy works. If there aren’t enough people willing to do a job, then wages for that job will go up until there are.

When the constitution was written, less than 25% of the US population had the right to vote. Basically only White male property owners could vote.

That was a very different political culture to how it is today.

It’s also interesting to see how the reading scores of presidential speeches have changed over time.

The Second Demographic Transition theory holds that low fertility rates are a feature of developed economies, just as high fertility rates are a feature of agrarian economies. I don’t see how any government can do anything to halt this.

It will be interesting anyway to see what the Chinese government resorts to once these relatively mild policies fail to halt the decline in fertility rates.

I would contest the claim that being an asshole is something that “happens to” a person, rather than something that the person chooses to do.

There would be no negative consequences for you if you failed to take an upskirt picture. But if a country falls behind in weapons technology, then its very existence is imperilled.

If employers really were desperate for workers, wages would rise. But wages haven’t risen. The only reasonable conclusion is that there isn’t really a shortage of workers.

> As Kim explained to me, if you’re laying out in the freezing cold, drinking some alcohol may be the only way to warm up and get to sleep.

Does alcohol actually warm you up? I thought it did the opposite.
