Societal scale fatherlessness and feminization of the entire education system is coming home to roost.

Upsides: if you're a moderately capable and motivated person, the world is your oyster.

Downsides: the entitled zombie hordes are coming to parasite off your effort and success.

Shorting Bitcoin at the beginning of the bull market, a bold move indeed 🫡

It is basically everybody, and that's an amazing opportunity. If you're in the US, there's absolutely zero excuse for almost anyone to be in that situation. That's how easy it is to be ahead of the curve financially.

In order to be that broke at 49, you have to make bad decisions over and over and over again throughout your entire life. Even with the inflation and problems with fiat money, there's literally no excuse. Even if you put a literal $20 bill in a box under your bed every week from 18 to 49, you'd have $32,000 in cash under your bed. That's without investing a penny in anything to counteract inflation. Twenty bucks a week is a bar so low you probably have to dig a hole to get any lower.

Save $100 a week and collect 2% interest over that period and you'll have over $200,000.

I'm as upset about the state of the financial system as anybody, but for anybody in this situation, this is a you problem 🤷🏼‍♂️

That would be my best guess. Thanks for the sats!

You're suggesting I apply a modicum of common sense to a question? That's very suspicious and unconspiratorial of you, guess I'll have to assume you're a Fed 🤷🏼‍♂️

The source website mentions bird migration. Without doing any research, seems like the radar picks up any objects in the atmosphere, whether rain, birds, or I'm going to guess even insects etc. The radars are operating continuously, so the "pulses" have nothing to do with radar being turned on and off or power being changed. It's reading something in the atmosphere.

The way the increased activity moves across the US from east to west seems to track sunrise and sunset times. And it's increasing into the spring. My best uneducated guess would be it's picking up increased bird or insect activity that's on a seasonal increase and also very correlated with time of day.

Getting more specific would take some research, but that's the angle I would start with.

When your default is to support centralizing solutions to problems, every additional problem created by those "solutions" is yet another opportunity to propose yet another centralizing solution. A hamster wheel with no exit ramp.

Ah I see. I guess they still care about maintaining that illusion, even though contributing to government retirement schemes serves no purpose whatsoever.

Interesting points. I'm not familiar with all that specific data.

So the main theory is that women being more financially independent makes them more likely to get and stay married? And that women were more financially independent 200 years ago than they are today, which is why marriage is less common and less successful now than in the past?

I wonder what the insurance against bad husbandry was 200 years ago? 🤔

A moment of silence for the brothers of previous generations who got married before they had the opportunity to see women talking online 😢

I don't follow the connection 🤔

This is the data, but apparently statisticians project marriage rates to miraculously shoot up like a Joe Biden vote count at 3 a.m.

Thinking back to age 16, I can't imagine spending another 2-6 years in school after that age. Would have been extremely depressing. High school is an obsolete model today for intelligent, curious people. You can start a career or business and start compounding wealth, while still learning more valuable knowledge by researching things that interest you online in a weekend than you will in a year of high school.

Depends on the year. Most springs it helps pull moisture out of the ground and dry things out enough to plant. In that case I plant into it green and kill it between planting and emergence. If it's an unusually dry spring with no rain in the forecast, I'll kill it a little earlier to conserve soil moisture until I can get the beans planted.

I don't do anything as far as rolling it down or anything like that. I like it standing upright as much as possible when I plant so there's less residue for the drill to cut through. It starts falling down on its own after a month or so and makes a great mulch for the rest of the season.

It's a completely different type of agriculture, different equipment, skills, labor, marketing, etc. Neighbor has a nice herd of beef, but wouldn't make any sense with my existing equipment inventory and irrigation setup and my exclusively part-time farming schedule. Livestock takes daily care of some type, intensive care at specific times. Crops you can plant in the spring and harvest in the fall with some flexible time for in-season weeding, fertilizing, and irrigation management. Much more manageable on an extremely limited schedule. Allows for taking an occasional trip too 🤷🏼‍♂️

Corn planted a week ago emerging well after a much needed shower. Irrigated field, 113 day maturity planted at 36k population, 4 tons of poultry litter, 200# of dry AMS and micros banded with the planter, 15 gallons of 32% UAN with the burndown and preemergent, with additional nitrogen to be applied through the irrigation at tassel. 260 bushel yield goal. #farm #corn #photos

That book is absolutely essential reading, if you want to understand where this train ends. Parallels to today will give you goosebumps.
