I think the evolution of drones will eventually lead to a new aircraft system. A multi rotor configuration powered by a turbines, and capable of lifting loads similar to, or greater than, an Osprey. Mainly as a cargo system for moving large factor ammo, like drones, missiles or artillery shells. But also capable of moving supplies or being a quick evac.

To be fair, the right wing war on the VA has made it a spotty resource. Some facilities have outstanding care, some make you wonder if it's safe to enter.

In other words the same 'law' that Trump and MAGA are trying to bring back. Make shit up and prosecute people we don't like.

There was more jurisprudence at a witch trial.

Don't give them more reasons to pass it.

bye bye broken bot.

It's worth it just to know the propaganda being pushed, the articles are trash.

Immigrants have a statistically higher fertility rate than the native population in every advanced economy. It's not a judgement, just reality.

The problem with a shrinking population is that it requires constantly higher taxes on younger generations, who will be under financial stress due to poor asset appreciation. Leading to political upheaval, and all it's assorted fun pass times.

For example, US social security won't have full funding in 6 years. There are several simple fixes, that are all politically toxic. So it's not going to happen, until extreme events make it happen, or remove the need through mortality rates.

Finland threw a small amount at the problem. France had the most all around approach that did show results, but it is still not enough.

Populations are going to decline. The elites are more interested in fighting over who gets to keep their stuff than on any consequences that might have for the world.

Well it's either that, or start paying people enough to raise families. So they're going to try everything else first.
