"What could the government of Ukraine do to increase the population of Ukraine? The same thing that the European community is doing: attracting migrants, says Oleksandr Okhrimenko. - Simplify the system of obtaining citizenship, develop a program for the integration of foreign citizens into Ukrainian society, help develop various ethnic "communities". The economist is convinced that programs aimed at increasing the birth rate will not yield anything: "The European experience has shown that it does not work. The wealthier or more modern young people are, the fewer children they have."

34,000 deaths from colorectal cancer worldwide are likely due to high consumption of processed meat, compared with 1 million cancer deaths per year as a result of smoking tobacco products.
That's 0.0004% of the population, its a very small risk. But the elites want to ban meat.
There are gov't-funded campaigns to report unlicensed daycares, and the penalties are severe, so people give in and get a license, which is expensive and drives up rates.
It's almost like the government doesn't want people having kids.
Here's an actual left-wing politician explaining it to his supporters. Translation: "It's like if you go to McDonalds and only eat fast food, then you become unhealthy. It's the same with nitrogen. It's just food that keeps falling from the sky and basically makes the nature become obese and that's not healthy."
The amazing thing is I've seen lots of lefties arguing that the cows should be replaced with crops because cows emit too much nitrogen on the land, not realizing what's in the fertilizer to make crops grow. Nitrogen, lots of it.
This is wrong because sprawl means you're dependent on a private automobile to get around which meaning whoever controls the fuel supply controls your life. The average American spends something like $800 per month on their car which is a huge burden. Also the idea that people won't walk with groceries is wrong. I lived in a big European city and no one I knew owned a car. I walked 2 minutes from my apartment to the nearest grocery store and back with a bag of groceries, just like most people.
“Guilty for having a good life & living in a good country while they didn’t. Guilty for having ‘privilege’ while the world is screwed with climate change, huge inequity & terrible suffering…”
I'm half Dutch and this explains exactly the mindset of most Dutch people.
My theory is that the only reason the elites allowed citizens in western countries to be rich for a few decades was to prime them for mass immigration for the purpose of gaining eternal political power. People with plentiful feel much less resentful over newcomers than those already living in poverty, which explains why Eastern Europe has resisted this trend. Now that the west is multiculturalized the elites are clamping down for the next stage.
Don't forget the last time the east coast had wildfires dozens of Antifa activists were arrested for arson. They see the "wildfires" as a way to prove their point.
