Wow. She goes from AI girlfriend to men’s loneliness being a problem to not enough women having babies
In 1940, there were 42 workers per beneficiary of Social Security. Today, there are only 2.8 workers per beneficiary, and that number is getting smaller
If she’s so worried about funding social security or Medicare, babies are not the way to solve that problem. Even the ones born today won’t start contributing until at least 16, unless the GOP succeeds in rolling back child labor laws. Immigration isn’t either, though more working adults might help social security. What can work? How about some tax reform! Then we could pay back all the money “borrowed” from social security coffers and fund all the nice stuff.
Men’s loneliness is an issue, and it is rooted in the way men are socialized, in the US and elsewhere. @wazroth had a link to an interesting substack on the issue. Toxic Masculinity: Dude, where are my emotions? - #224 by wazroth
