I think you misinterpreted my statement.

It's the same thing.

1970s, late 80s Japan was the enemy.
Because their Economy boom, they got rich, they bought alot of properties in New York, they almost bought up half of wall street.
And USA also moved some manufacring jobs to Japan.
Not to mention WW2 made them even more susceptible to hate.
And their cars are coffins. Just ask your parents .


1990s, up till mid 2000s. Mexico because of NAFTA, tons of jobs moved over

Mid 200s, huge distraction because first itvwas 9/11, and the first financialcrisis 2008, and occupy wall street , so it took a lot of minds away even though there is jobs moving away, but tech and internet was just starting to grow so there are new jobs.

Come Trump's first term.. you have to have a mortal enemy to win elections. So basically China..

Trump was talking about Japan in the 80s when he wasn't a president the same way he was talking about China but he is the President now so he take action.

In future it will be India, they will get it even worst because Chinese eat dogs but Indians poop in the street and gang rape. And you do realize a lot of top jobs in USA is now held by Indians.

I think you need to clarify yourself. Or dont. I dont care.

Godfather of A.I now says we screwed lol danger danger

i have seen articles that ai processing to much ai data has the effect of making the ai "insane
considering the rate the ai can produce content it might not be long before people are just a small percentage of available content
a new phenomenon chatGPT psychosis
ai will be in childs toys

ai will be the new? government

scripture talks about a "beast" system

About 60% of parents with children ages 18 to 34 said they had helped their kids financially in the previous year, according to a 2024 Pew Research Center survey. Parents are finding that the rising expenses that trail them from their child’s birth through college are now extending well into adulthood.

They commonly chipped in for housing, debt payments and everyday expenses such as groceries, according to a Bankrate survey last year. A third of younger millennial home buyers got help with the down payment from friends or family, according to an April report from the National Association of Realtors.

In inflation-adjusted terms, Americans are earning 18% more than they did in 1980, when the last of the baby boomers were entering adulthood. The costs of housing have soared more than 400% since then, medical care has climbed nearly 700% and tuition and child care costs have increased more than 10-fold

“I think you either need to be comfortable with your kids struggling or you need to set aside some money now,”

I'll focus my response on the AI part of the wider problem:



The world is on a path toward neofeudalism, and has been for quite a long time actually. This is also explicitly the goal set out by the "Davos men". AI is just another piece in the puzzle. Not that its development was explicitly about furthering this goal of the globalists/elites/WEF or whatever you wanna call them, but that's what the end result will be.

As with previous technological revolutions, the adoption of AI will lead to a surge in productivity, which is in and off itself a good thing. In fact, productivity growth had slowed substantially during the late 2000s and throughout the 2010s, to the point that it had already begun making business leaders, politicians and researchers anxious. Our productivity needed a shot in the arm, and AI will provide it (and then some). The big crux is with the distribution of these gains.

During previous technological revolutions, those companies and nations which had been lagging behind could catch up and even gain the upper hand on the previous front runners. That's because they had less capital invested in previous, now-outdated technology (say factories using inferior machines or production processes, going straight to fiber-optical internet instead of being stuck with copper cables, etc). Technological innovation/progress/revolution reshuffled the playing field and created opportunity for newcomers.

AI does not. It is the most centralized, monopolized technological revolution in history and will instead enshrine the economic status quo. First, the big tech companies will always control the state of the art AI models because the hardware infrastructure and the cost of simply training these humongously large models will be so prohibitive that no tech startup will ever be able to challenge their position at the top of the AI market. Second, the current top dog corporations from the wider economy will be able to leverage their greater spending power into access to the most powerful AI models and thus gain a comparative advantage over their less wealthy competitors, let alone genuine upstarts. And third, AI's ability to copy skill will inevitably reduce the market rate of skilled labor.

AI will make world as a whole richer, but nearly the entire gains will be concentrated at the tech companies and the big, multinational corporations, while the bottom ~95% will be left worse off.

"AI Overview
The average gifted down payment from parents to their adult children for a home in Canada was approximately $115,000 in mid-2024 for first-time buyers, with "mover-upper" buyers receiving a higher average of around $167,000. These amounts vary significantly by region, with higher averages in expensive markets like Toronto and Vancouver, and have been increasing substantially since 2019. "

https://www.canadianmortgagetrends.com/2024/07/mortgage-digest-first-time-buyers-relying-on-gifted-down-payments-more-than-ever/

In Ontario and British Columbia, where housing affordability is particularly stretched, 36% of first-time homebuyers received gifts, compared to the national average of 31%. The average gift amount in B.C. is $204,000, while in Ontario it’s $128,000.


204K in BC, let that sink in. You probably already paid their education, 1-18 costs more than ever, your kids a 700K investment by the time they get a home, just hoping they visit you once in the future.

So shocking that child births are not at replacement rate.

I feel like the first thing you're talking about is less of a gen-z specific problem, and more of a past 50 years problem. Education was supposed to be what would save the lower classes from destitution brought on by the US outsourcing all of its manufacturing. Conversations about improving people's material conditions always seem to focus on improving education opportunities. But is that not what has led to the problem of elite production, as formulated by Peter Turchin? A society can only ever sustain so many elite status individuals. And when everyone has a bachelor's degree, what matters is where your bachelor's degree is from.




Who cares about birth rates when you can import millions of people to your country heh
