Quote from: Knarf on Jul 05, 2024, 04:56 PMI saw your post. Nice. I don't think they have the smarts to project with the same accuracy as your answers. Most probably would rather stay in their own niche. Great questions. I really hope you check in there occasionally and shake things up a bit. :)

I post occasionally or comment but not much. I mainly scan them for new info. I just thought I noticed it has evolved into a more realistic understanding that this extinction event is occurring now, and the focus is on "how are going to handle this", because the future is coming fast.

Did you hear that China is putting a salary cap at about $500,000? I have been saying that ( exact amount ) for about 20 years. Ha!

I have thought that in about 15 years the will to survive past say 60 years old might become so difficult that we will make policies that make it legal to obtain an effective and painless way to "check out"
 ( a pill ). With everything collapsing, and very little "contentment" left, the option would eliminate millions of people that have had enough. Maybe even lower the age to 50.

I may check it occassionally to see if there is anything interesting, but I'm not goin to start any threads there.  Also, I'm probably not going to check to see if other people reply to me, it's too time consuming.  I'd invite people here, but that would reveal my identity to the mods, so that's a non-starter.

I'll be interested to see how that salary cap works with the Chinese.  You don't need a big salary if you are CEO of corporation or a big shot Party Boss.  Your company owns the Private Jet and Limo and pays your driver and other personal staff.  They already use creative bookkeeping to buy overseas properties and offshore their money in case they have to make a quick exit.  Just like Billionaires here have numbered accounts in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland.

I agree with you that choosing death will be facilitated.  Assisted suicide will be legalized at some point everywhere.  Even without it, suicide will become more common, along with death by drug overdose and chronic alcoholism.  That did in a lot of the population after the collapse of the old Soviet Union.  Suicide by Cop also will be more common.

Of course there is the problem of what to do about all the migrants in the Concentration Camps when food starts to become scarce.  The Final Solution has already been tested.
