No. Let the planet rest. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Well, sure. But as others have commented, it’s less that they can’t, it’s more that they don’t want to sacrifice anything else. Raising a family has always been a sacrifice, although at times a small sacrifice for a few privileged men.
Then the problems aren’t the same in all countries. In Japan, housing isn’t the largest hurdle. In South Korea, it seems child perfectionism is making things worse, etc. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
And somehow Microsoft is the only one I can think of that does that in Japan. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Replacement requires 2.1 kids per woman
Factor in women who can't, and women who don't want, plus the modern way of living where the woman also has to work, and you're never gonna solve this problem financially, because it's not a financial issue at its core. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Did you miss the part where I said financial incentives weren't a complete solution? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
You realize I am merely refuting the statement that wealthy people have less kids? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Well, yeah, men rape to feel a sense a power. It was the first and only time their peasant rice farmers were able to feel a sense of power instead of their usual lot in life of being just a practice dummy for a new katana. Now that we've humiliatingly smacked down their "empire", kawaiified their entire culture, and shoved them back into the modern "rice field" (the salaryman's office cubical), it's no wonder they'd rather cry into a body pillow. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Nobody's talking about wealthy people, you brought it up yourself | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
>If economics don't matter then why do richer women have more kids than poor women in some western countries
You claimed they don’t.
I have myriad proof that that is incorrect | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Maybe the Japanese people have a shared ethnic and cultural history that is more important to them than adopting the same short term solution every other Western country has implemented resulting in increasing social unrest and a lack of societal cohesion?
I'm sure that "Outsource reproduction to poor people" is an incredible idea in your own head but it doesn't seem to be too attractive to the people who live there who you seem to despise.
"You'll see people stop and stare if they see a single black person" wow incredible racism I can't believe the Japanese find someone that looks very different from the people they're used to encountering interesting enough to notice. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Maybe through infant mortality and maternal death, but I don't really believe that it would decrease the number of pregnancies much. Modern healthcare is... well, it's modern innit? How do you think we got here to begin with? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
I don’t understand your question. Giving birth can cost up to $10k for people with insurance. People on Medicaid don’t need to pay that. You don’t think crazy hospital bills would put a dent on the birth rate? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
I used to live in germany and grew up there.
As ive said "main reasons". My two Cents on Germany it's one of the kids unfriendliest cultures I’ve seen. It even has restaurants with “children are not welcome” signs. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Gotta love some first world kid talking about working a job like it's slavery when they live in a world where slavery still exists. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
If it doesn't exist where I am talking about said governments, why does that matter? Is there a risk of confusion if I use the same word for two bad things of different magnitudes? Are you confused? Figures, for someone who calls people "kid". | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Why do they just mass immigrate people oh ya thats right its just makes your country a shit hole | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
And?
Everyone acts like like a lower birth rate is a problem lmao. It wouldn't be unless it kept getting significantly lower over the course multiple hundreds of years | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
They can’t offer tax credits because unlike the US, Japan’s social security system collapsed back in 2009-2011. One person paying social security today is paying more than 2 people receiving benefits. The government can’t cut taxes too since they always increase consumption tax when the economy gets better to adjust for inflation. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Exactly. There just isn't enough of an incentive to make women choose to have children. Many may actually want to have a family, but society just isn't family-friendly. Both parents have to work because the cost of living is high, and employers don't tolerate people taking time off to care for sick children, childcare is too costly, and... being a parent is hard bloody work, even at the best of times. It means sacrificing freedom.
There are such high expectations on Western parents, too. You can't be too lenient. Can't be too strict. You have to be "involved." But don't be a helicopter parent!
Everyone judges you. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Not to sound shitty, but thanks to Covid, my work life balance became so much more manageable.
Made a career switch to WFH tech, so no more work commute. Save hundreds in gas money now.
My main issue is going stir crazy at home, having to work 8-5 every day. I rarely have any energy for my hobbies anymore, solely because of work consuming all of my time. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

They aren't. The indigenous people in sabah are called the dayaks or kadazans who have citizenship. These people in question in the article are from the neighboring Philippines who have multiple times illegally entered sabah. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
The Bajau (Badjao in the Philippines) are the real free divers. As a life long freediver myself, these people interest me immensely. They have incredible breath hold capacity. Infact, they have been freediving for so long for so many generations that they have evolved to have bigger than normal spleens, the spleen acts as a reservoir of oxygenated blood that is released into the circulatory system as the body approaches a hypoxic state. This larger spleen is an evolutionary adaptation that facilitates a longer breath hold under water.
[https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/bajau-sea-nomads-free-diving-spleen-science](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/bajau-sea-nomads-free-diving-spleen-science)
In the southern Philippines they usually live spread throughout Tawi-Tawi, Sulu, and Basilan, with some in Zamboanga as well. I spend a lot of time in Zamboanga and have met numerous badjao. You can find them at the port in Zamboanga city where they free dive down for coins you toss for them. They live a true off the grid hand to mouth lifestyle. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

It is kind of interesting thought. Historically we are basically a bunch of farmers, fishermen and sailors. We have never had a nobility, like Sweden and many other countries. Even though we have a monarchy, but it pretty much stops there. It has probably played a role where we have been pretty smart with our resources. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

Not a chance we will sell the mining rights to a Chinese company. It is not how it works here. We will probably do something similiar with what we did with the oil. We will probably invite foreign companies, but we will tax the shit out of the income, and in combination establish a state owned company that will do the mining. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
And your hill isn't even higher than the highest hill in the Netherlands | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
I believe they have started a research project in an Austrian university, on how you can do eco-friendly mining. So you are not wrong, but we have a shit load of cash to do research like that, and hopefully negate the environmental negative impact. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
I would think because it’s a lot harder to enter Denmark unnoticed from Sweden, given there’s mainly the Baltic Sea between it unlike the Danish land border to Schleswig-Holstein? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

I mean wasn't there an article a year ago or so with a huge rare earth deposit being found in Sweden as well?
Quick search: https://www.npr.org/2023/07/18/1187075988/europe-rare-earth-sweden
So they aren't too badly. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Contrary to the name, they're not that hard to find when you look for them, but deposits are usually very low concentration and mixed with lots of stuff you aren't looking for (including toxic or radioactive materials), thus expensive and dirty to process. The US used to produce more, but stopped because it was cheaper to let China do it. Of course, that calculus is changing now with increased demand and geopolitical tensions.
This deposit being in an arctic location sounds promising, since one major reason that people don't develop their rare earth deposits is ecological concerns, and there may be fewer of those in a sparsely inhabited tundra area. Some of the more promising deposits in North America are in arid desert regions of the Western US, or tundra in the Canadian North, for similar reasons. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

Also, China is the only one really willing to process these resources. The western world needs to commit to the entire supply chain if they are really serious. Otherwise, these minerals will be mined and shipped to China in any case… | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

Sorry but either way he should have said no.
Politically it's insane to leave a D day memorial for an interview. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Because the press absolutely crucified Jeremy Corbyn for wearing the wrong tie (I think) to a Remembrance ceremony. Then ignored that Corbyn spent the afternoon talking to veterans, then went back to his constituency to take part in a ceremony there, while Tory politicians spent that time at a lavish banquet.
Then the press cropped some stills from a video to make it look like Corbyn was dancing a happy jig dance, when in actual fact he was walking and talking to a veteran. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
An effect to be sure, but if you dismiss other influences like his schooling at the traditionalist Winchester College and Oxford University, his choice to participate in the theoretically more historically minded Tory Party, and his stint as Local Government Secretary; and instead pretend that his parents were necessarily the predominant or ever the only thing that would inform his views on the matter, then that as an alternative assessment of Sunak is equally damning of his capacity to lead Britain, because it suggests he’s so rooted in his own experience that he cannot represent others’. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
(I mean he did literally show up, he just left early.)
Going to a memorial service is a gesture, it is performative, it is a mark of respect, it is good optics, it is a statesmanlike gesture. It is, like you say, important to a large number of people- particularly older and/or more patriotic people who you would expect to vote tory. Leaving was a bad idea, poor PR, bad politics.
It just comes down to what you think the word "substance" means.
As I said somewhere else, to me building a wall is "substance", attending a wall-opening ceremony is not. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

I'm Irish so I don't have that visceral attachment to D-day and WW2 like the people whose ancestors were involved in the conflict. I'm a history guy too and Ireland is well in the Anglo American sphere of culture.
I didn't grow up hearing stories of how our country was bombed or so and so went to fight the axis.
I'd probably leave the ceremony early too. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
That may be his family background, but he was born, grew up, and educated in the UK, and there is simply no form of that where you don't realise that WW2, and the D-Day landings in particular, are a core element of national identity
You're absolutely right that he's out of touch, but his background has nothing to do with this particular row. This is because he's an awful politician. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

Which is funny considering he hails from a political party that constantly complains about immigrants that don’t integrate. Plus, it’s not so much that immigrants couldn’t gain a connection to the war, but Sunak has no “working class” friends by his own admission. He’s lived a life of luxury, sheltered from any such British history or real people. He simply cannot comprehend why people care. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

Canadians were not so lucky. One majority and two minority governments propped up by the NDP has really damaged Canada and now Canadians are having problems [affording housing](https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canada-eighth-least-affordable-housing-market), food etc. Meanwhile he has ramped up immigration to record levels further putting pressure on Canadians looking for jobs and housing.
