exactly the opposite

it was way harder building hundreds of miles of aquaducts 2000 years ago with what they had than it is to build what we have with modern tech

any chemistry student after a few semesters can do the necessary tests and there are plenty of them


Except it isn't about getting a chemistry student to do the tests. It's about coordinating the dozens of chemists to maintain water quality, and develop improved tests for water quality as regulation changes, and maintaining supplies of the chemicals to do the tests with, and reporting and monitoring where they fail or have increasing concentrations of poor chemicals, etc. etc.

I actually know a fair bit about all the ins and outs of water quality testing since the water lab for the town was one of the biggest parties hiring from my university. I got LOTS of presentations about water testing, and maintaining this infrastructure is far more difficult than building aquaducts.

Your post literally claims “she’s cheating cause she’s bored”

That’s not keeping her happy.

But some people just suck. Men and women.

The reason is pretty obvious. It's the same reason home ownership and full time employment is down. Economic prosperity is just not going to as many people as it used to, and as a result people are delaying, often indefinitely, these kinds of milestones.

Anything short of a reversal of the neo-liberal / neo-conservative capitalism we've experienced since the 80's will result in the same or worse trends.


This is the answer, i waited 17 years to propose (next week) because i always had other priorities.

The only way to accomplish this is to abolish central banking and social security while oversaturating our labor force participation.

This wouldn't solve the problem though. You also have to abolish abortion, no-fault divorce, and alimony at a minimum. Abolishing welfare too would bring us back to full marriage levels.

PS: Good Luck!
