  1. Of course it is their responsibility. But both of their whore wives are in so much debt, they can barely keep a roof over the kid's and their own heads. The women can't maintain a household, kinda like South Austin's situation with his ex-wife. So the husbands end up having to pay some of those additional bills above and beyond child support because even with those red flags, the mothers still got custody. There was a drug bust at one of the wive's parent's house. The infant daughter was there. Did that change the custody arrangement? Absolutely not.

    Yes, but tell me less about the drugging and more about the whoring part.

    Also, South Austin right now:

  2. Got my new windshield back. And by that I mean I drove to Michigan from Alabama and picked it up. Not trusting UPS on this. All it takes is one drop and right back to where i started. It usually is an easy drive up there but this one had winter rain most of the time. However it is done. Installing should take five minutes - just a few bolts holding the complete windshield to support arms.

  3. Wife and I easily would have had another one if not for COVID and then daycare and health insurance running us $30,000/year. Would love for my son to have a sibling but we could barely afford it (just kidding, we couldn't afford it and suffered financially in many ways).
    As someone else mentioned... it's almost a selfish move to have kids in this country these days. Being born into a country who's days of the global superpower/leader of the "free" world beginning to sunset has not historically gone well for other empires.

    Surly only birthing in 10 rated countries.

    50 billion > 2 billion.  That’s like being six months behind on your monthly McMansion mortgage payments, and your bank demands that you sell your mountain bike to reduce the debt. 

    So with that kind of debt, when does the machine just stop?  Like collapse under the weight of that debt?  At some point, people aren't getting paid and quit taking IOUs, right?

    I find your order bizarre. No love for Chinese or South Korean, but India is 3rd? 

    Hey man, I have love for all of them.  Like Baskin Robbins, I love all the flavors.  There are no x's.  

    If I had my druthers, they'd all be 1.  But I can't eat all the flavors at once.  

    Plus China has too many dudes to compete with anyhow, and Russia is just out of favor with me right now.  Further, the Indian subcontinent holds a special place in young Chad's spiritual, ahem, awakening.  And there aren't any Latin countries on the list, so if you're down with the brown, then India has to be pretty high up there.

    Well, I guess you've never watched a Peter Zeihan video on youtube. Every third one relates to various demographic catastrophes happening around the world, but particularly in Russia and China.

    Long story short, there's almost nowhere in the world where births and birth rates AREN'T declining. It's not a US problem, is a worldwide problem. Now there's plenty of reasons. As many posters here have pointed out, there's a very large trend with the young here in the US where they don't feel they can afford a family, what with the housing costs, the cost of living, and the cost of health insurance, unsteady job market, etc. This is also reflected dual income households...both parents need to work. This has existed for awhile.

    Another relevant point is that...we're not an agrarian culture anymore. Families aren't having kids anymore because they don't need free labor. Then you've got the social ineptitude/disinterest things you're starting to see here in America, and which has exited in Japan for awhile. Kids don't want to fuck. 

    There's dozens of different reasons, and they're somewhat different in each country. But The last thing I read is that while America is in decline for births and birth rates, we're actually one of the countries declining the least rapidly compared to much of the rest of the world. Another interesting point is that, demographically, it also makes sense for America to increase immigration to combat this issue. Of course, we don't have any jobs or manufacturing to support that, but it's a thing to consider.

    @PTINS

    Natural gas prices in Europe have all but returned to normal since Russia's full scale war in Ukraine. In fact, the only reason for the spike in 2021 and 2022 has been Russia's energy war against Europe, which started even before the full scale invasion of Ukraine. The numbers clearly say that. 

    It proves many things: Russian energy was never cheap, neither politically nor economically. Russian energy was always unreliable. Russia always needed Europe more than the other way around.

    I saw the downfall of Southstream.

    I saw the downfall of Nordstream. 

    And now the whole European market for Russian gas is getting buried.

    This is what I mean when I say that Russia is losing in the long run. All what you need is determination, patience and tenacity.

    The European market was the primary reason why Russia raked in so much money the last three decades.

    The European customers were reliable, paid well and were easily to access, who in turn put in a lot of investments into Russia. Now all of that is gone because of petty imperial ambitions of a short man who never accepted the downfall of the Soviet empire.

    Russia is now forced to sell oil and gas with huge price cuts, which barely covers processing costs while India and China completely suck out the last bits of life from Russia.

     

    Kinda like China and US soybeans!

    “The Ukrainian Navy, a small ragtag force of patrol boats and drones that lost its only frigate on the second day of Russia’s invasion, has effectively won the surface war on the Black Sea.”

     

     

    Taking the Black Sea Fleet out of the game is...something.  That also means if you had some spare anti ship missiles laying around all those ships bottled up there would be sitting ducks.

    Russia has mo interest in stopping the war. It's existential for them to reclaim nations that were previously part of the USSR. Their economy is very dependent on the war.

    Are you saying it's existential for Russia, or its existential for Putin?  I think those are two different things.  There will always be a Russia, but they've shot themselves in the dick with this war.  It will be a greatly diminished and downsized Russia if/when they lose this war.  Ethnic groups and former republics will start pulling out/away because Russia can't stop them.  

    For Putin, it's existential.  He will be dead if he doesn't keep going. He may be if he does, but he certainly will be if he stops.

    Most of Europe has not been doing nearly enough to re-arm to fight Russia. Poland is ready to go to a total war economy, but the rest of Europe is very much half-assing it. There's been a lot more talk about how they have to be responsible for their own security because we can't be relied on anymore than there's been actual action to that effect.

    This is what I'm saying.  This right here is where Europe is.

    I used to think this, but not any more.

    All of Eurpoe now sees who Russia is and have already begun building up thier military srengths and forming stronger bonds with one another. If the war ended today, all of Europe will still keep building those strengths. Especially Ukraine.

    Additionally, it will be a decade, at bare minimum, beforre Russia will be able to attempt anything like this again, and Putin will likely be dead by then.

    If Macron or Metz said, "we're taking the army to Ukraine tomorrow" they'd get massive pushback today.  Maybe less so as the war goes on, but I still don't think the European populous has decided, "alright, we've had enough."  I think they're still at, "Let's give the Ukrainians what we can."  Those two things (1. boots on the ground vs. 2. supplying weapons for Ukraine to fight with) are still very far apart politically.  I hope you're correct though, that there's a rising tide of anti-Russian sentiment and a pragmatic understanding that if it's going to be finished, it's up to Europe.

    I alluded to waffling, the admin is definitely pro-Russian, then it’s not for a minute, then it is again, and back and forth. Someone or somebodies in the admin (career types) are not pro-Russian, that’s my take. 

    The first part, that the admin is pro-Russia is absolutely true.  It isn't that they "aren't for a minute."  They always are for Russia.  It's just that tossing a bone to Ukraine every so often gives them cover to say, "Well, we tried."  Nah, they aren't really trying.  Trying is sending HIMARS like Biden did.  Tfg is not doing that.  

    But I think there are enough career people in our government that are trying to look to a place post-orange asshole where we attempt to regain some trust and cooperation with our long time allies.  Right now, our allies are turning away, as they must.  But that won't always be the case (he said hopefully).

    I acknowledged that in my post - the US and Europe are not aligned on broader security policy for Europe, I’m not convinced Europe wants a quicker Russian defeat over a longer one.  No mistaking defeating Russia is paramount. But the sooner Russia is defeated the sooner they can start rebuilding. Why would anyone (but the Ukrainians wanting the war to end sooner) want that ?

    Strategically this is true.  It's probably better for everyone but Ukraine and Russia that the war drags on and Russia suffers as long as possible as greatly as possible.

    But I think this is just a side effect.  I don't think there's a government in Europe that could stand the backlash of the populous if they said, "We are going to end this war today.  We're going to do it by throwing the entirety of our military might against Russia via Ukraine."  That is what would end the war quickly.  But the European people do not have the stomach for that at this point.  Plus you'd inevitably get the pushback of "Russia could go nuclear!"  No they wouldn't, for the simple reason that Putin wants to live.  Ultimately, if he gets pushed out of Ukraine, as long as he can still beat up on his own people, he'll be cowed, but still around.  For sure Europe wouldn't push for regime change.  No one wants to see a European army trying to follow Napoleon or Hitler's boot tracks across Russia.
