  • I think you're quite a few decades out of date with that opinion. The Chinese government is very worried about population decline now.

  • The nasty bit was telling a mother she has to have an abortion against her will.

    China now has the opposite problem of a declining population, which causes problems because of the working age population is small compared to the older population, you end up running out of money so you either have to tax more heavily or abandon older folks to their fate without helping them.

    The declining population problem is very common in wealthier countries.

    And lower population means fewer jobs. The number of jobs that need doing in a country doesn't depend on the area of the land, it depends on the population size. The problems come when governments don't build infrastructure. If you don't build schools and hospitals and suchlike, three are fewer jobs in construction and less money going into the local economy, and schools and hospitals get crowded and do a worse job.

  • The ceasefire deal Trump negotiated is such a transparent joke that he's not even mentioning it.

    Putin kindly agreed to a ceasefire that applied only to energy generating facilities, except that Ukraine is the only one attacking energy infrastructure right now because Russia already destroyed all of the Ukrainian ones that aren't nuclear (and already decided not to bomb the nuclear ones, presumably because Chernobyl wasn't all that much fun for the region).

    So the great ceasefire deal that weak-ass Trump negotiated? That Ukraine stops it's current attacks on Russian energy plants and Russia changes exactly NOTHING.

    Trump absolutely does not stress that his grand dealmaker act doesn't work with his boss, who of course sees right through him, because he made Diaper Don, the Bully's BJ Boy the way he is.

  • Ah yes, a website I've never heard of before. Much more convincing. /s.

    I mean, how convinced are you by the evidence "someone wrote it on a webpage you never heard of"?

  • Boris is the biggest liar in British political history by a country mile, and his nonsense takes on the past to justify his actions mean nothing. To Boris, thinking about whether a statement is true or not before using it for political ends is an insane waste of time and effort and needlessly hampers your argument.

    So to anyone who is in the last bit familiar about how Boris operates, quoting him to try to establish what's true is like asking a random number generator what your age is. I mean, it might be right, but the fact that it's the random number generator that said it is a pathetically weak argument.

  • I suspect I'm using a naive macro model and inaccurate terminology whereas you're using a micro model and accurate terminology.

    Is there even such a thing as magnetic force? Reading up a bit, it only talks about magnetic fields.

  • see the joke is that someone else does the work

    Jump

  • My point is that whether a force does work doesn't depend on what the force is. It makes no more sense to say that magnetic forces do no work than it does to say that gravitational forces do no work.

  • see the joke is that someone else does the work

    Jump

  • But that's true of gravitational forces too, otherwise satellites wouldn't have constant speed. It's silly and misleading to say that magnetic forces do no work. If I turn an electromagnet on next to a spoon, the spoon will move and the magnetic force did some work.

  • It's the magnets, doing work!
