Quote from: TDoS on Aug 06, 2026, 04:02 PMAfter reviewing the 4 other posts all detailing current events, regarldess of quality of doomyness....I only have one question as it relates to REAL DOOM.
What is the expected population decrease this year from all the dooms you can round up in the news so far this year? A 1% drop? 5%? Come on....doom as malaise and recessions is all fine and dandy for pretenders, but the two of you KNOW better than to think anyone who is a quant and has already listed definitions including a population drop involved necessary to even get the ball rolling...as opposed to just posting bad news (has there ever been a year that DIDN'T have bad news?).
1 to 5 % is reasonable. I'll have a firm opinion after the harvest comes in. But no matter about that because you are like Elon, you will ignore anything that does not fit your narrative. Just like this disgusting example of a current event.
Elon Musk demands 'single' DOGE death example — then goes silent when given the body count
As reporting increasingly suggests that the U.S. federal aid cuts spearheaded by trillionaire Elon Musk last year have led to preventable deaths abroad – and potentially millions by 2030 – the Tesla CEO issued his critics a challenge to “cite a single name of someone who died,” but grew notably silent after being given countless examples.
Have People Died Because Elon Musk and DOGE Cut USAID Programs?
Independent reporting and expert commentary attribute substantial increases in preventable deaths to the rapid dismantling of USAID by the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Elon Musk helped lead, while Musk has repeatedly denied any deaths resulted; multiple outlets and experts estimate hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands-plus deaths linked to the cuts, though precise attribution and counting remain disputed.
Some poor guy maybe would like to retire but as Republicans have trashed the economy he can't. He is stuck doing the Wall-Mart greeter thing. Then he drops dead. You would say it is all his fault because his 75 year old dumb ass did not have enough money to take care of himself. But he would have.......
He never gets counted. Regardless of the actual chain of events he measures only as a statistic. Setting a one to 1% to 5% population decrease figure as a quantitative threshold to separate systemic collapse from garden-variety bad news is totally unreasonable. And heartless as fuck. The human cost happens entirely off the books, long before any 1% to 5% threshold is reached.
It is pointless to argue with your sociopathic ass. RE and I have better things to do. Now I am going to go do one of them.
