- tuatoru 2y agoAs usual with journalists, the reporter misunderstands and misrepresents what is going on in her primary example, Israel. Non-Zionism has a better description: [1]. The basic reason that people aren't having children is that our culture is profoundly hostile to child-raising. How many offices have creches in the next room? How many employers accept employees taking time out to play with their kids (i.e.: teach them) during the working day? What prestige does a mother of five have? That's rhetorical: she carries the stigma of suspected mental illness. Negative prestige. 1. https://nonzionism.substack.com/p/why-is-israel-fertile https://nonzionism.substack.com/p/why-is-israel-fertile

- gus_massa 2y agoWe survived many virus before. This is not even the first coronavirus, and it will not be the last. Usually it's easier to control: * 2012 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MERS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MERS * 2002 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS so probably one every 10 years. And also a new bad variant of flu every 5 years And many other nasty stuff like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio that is very close to extinction now.
