Yes, having 4 retired grandparents and 2 retired parents supported by 1 working adult with 0 young children, at scale, is generally bad. Worrying about the ideal balance of births : deaths, today, is like worrying about ballast in a sinking

It’s actually interesting how little I’ve experienced this sort of aggressively close minded purism in cuisines that tend to use heat and/or hot sauce, to the point this comment feels genuinely “off”. At least IME “al gusto” type takes

Flutter is almost exclusively used by web developers in my professional and personal experience which is odd considering the lack of JS. The types of companies that hire iOS developers and build iOS apps also hire android developers and bui
