Upside-down pyramid: too many old people and too few young to support it all.China/Japan population halving in 80 years is wild. Wonder what unforeseen issues will arise from that.

Agreed. To be fair, IMO almost every generation in human history has watched their offspring being born into an easier existence and called them lazy for it. Which is often a good thing, because it shows progress as a society.The older men will have to teach the younger men why they should get up, go to work, yada yada, yada, yada .......
Before "they" start families, they need to learn a trade, go to college, have a goal and figure out what they can do in life to survive themselves, before a family should / need to be considered. "They," need to be to be "survivors" to begin with.
Do you have kids?OMG a book that confirms my bias by using cherry picked anecdotes about how the world ending!!!
Whether I have kids or not has no bearing on the actual facts surrounding the issue. I can certainly understand being more concerned if you have kids, as would I, but that doesn't change reality.Do you have kids?
Robert Putnam is also not some slap-dick pop lit author:Whether I have kids or not has no bearing on the actual facts surrounding the issue. I can certainly understand being more concerned if you have kids, as would I, but that doesn't change reality.
Posting an Amazon link to a book that confirms your bias is simply that- a single source that confirms your bias. Somebody has written a book for every conceivable mindset, so you have to do better than simply posting an author who agrees with you.
And then spend their passive income buying China made stuff through Amazon.Boomer landlords that vacuum up wages from the middle class, they contribute literally nothing.
Yeah.... No.The older men will have to teach the younger men why they should get up, go to work, yada yada, yada, yada .......

You post nothing but dystopian tripe that mostly goes unresponded. I don’t need to have kids to point out that the “kids these days” and “world is going to hell” narratives are as old as the spoken word itself.Robert Putnam is also not some slap-dick pop lit author:

You’ve done nothing but link an Amazon title, so I’m not sure what points you want me to address. I agree that there are serious issues in our society. Eventually kids grow up and have their own and the cycle continues.Get data disproving what Putnam is saying or shut-up. Put up or shut-up.
I don't want you to address anything. I want you to shut up since you have neither kids nor data and don't know what you're talking about.You’ve done nothing but link an Amazon title, so I’m not sure what points you want me to address.
There are never de-rails on the erBB.That said, I don’t want to derail a Hawaii thread,
It works both ways. Have you taken your own advice?BTW, use the Ignore function if you don’t like what I have to say, kook
College is expensive enough and the returns aren’t exactly guaranteed that while it’s a very worthwhile experience I agree with Mike about it vs the tradesThe older men will have to teach the younger men why they should get up, go to work, yada yada, yada, yada .......
