I still don’t get what all the phrenology racist brainlords think should be done about the white birth “crisis,” I’ve never seen one of them advocate for making it less financially ruinous to have a kid, or for healthcare outcomes for pregnant people to improve In fact it looks suspiciously like the exact system that makes people choose between having a career and a family and uses massive gender and age discrimination to disincentive babies is the one that made them all wealthy in the first place

the only way to a truly fair society is babies are randomly reassigned immediately after birth. if you have a baby you will get a baby within a week of giving birth. if you're lucky it might be the one with your genetics!

heard an interesting conspiracy theory at work [presented as such] that this may be the big banks basically disposing of regionals, I mean if they're not behind it they're definitely going to end up with all their assets and business

citi had to get several billion in "help" from the saudi sovereign wealth fund over a year before the 2008 crisis. they really should have been allowed to go out of business but wachovia/wamu melting down made the government decide no more big consumer banks were going away and they got bailed out

using real estate for money laundering props up value which raises property taxes so as long as they're not doing their crimes on the premises I think most municipalities will happily look the other way [see: most of west central london]
