Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Wait a minute, if we cut this and birth rate falls, economy also falls because lower population usually leads to smaller growth in economy. Now if we deport hardworking immigrants, it will also be worse off for the economy.
What's the goal here? Make things worse?
Yes. Rich people make bigger gains when the economy crashes. They can buy up assets for cheap. Look at all those 'record breaking profits' made during COVID.
It is actually how the system works, just on steroids. Capitalism has the innate tendency for monopolization. At the end, the whole world will belong to one person and that person will rule everything. its just totalitarianism with extra steps.
ofc. The goal is to destroy the country so oligarchs can come in and buy up everything at a fraction of the cost it would have cost had they not destroyed the country.
This of course will turn the US into a 3rd world economy and lose its status as a world power. The countries that will do well over the next century are the ones that can prevent oligarchs from dismantling their economies and destroying their society.
I’ve said this a few times. The developed world was built around growth, and most of the developed world has a total fertility rate problem. And here are the US conservatives, dumbest of the dumb, doing everything they can to drive people out of the country.
The wikipedia article has a nice color coded map.

AND blame it all on the democrats. And the immigrants. - fuck, we deported those ...
Robot army and the 1% massacres the 99%
Seems like a win for housing affordability and climate change though!
