An online post about a newlywed in China, who was rung up by her local government asking if she was pregnant, garnered tens of thousands of
Maybe, just maybe, they shouldnât have had decades of forced abortion, forced sterilization, and policies that led to the abandonment and murder of countless baby girlsâŠ
that's not really the problem, it's how expensive it is to have children in China.
it's defintly part of the problem, but if it didn't cost an arm an a leg to raise your child in china, and then the other arm and leg from the whole family for your son to buy an apartment so he can get married, they'd have less of a problem.
I mean their one child policy is the reason they currently have a population crisis. Sure, the cost of living thing doesnât make it easier, but decades of policies that led to an extremely gender-imbalanced population is the primary issue.
no that's the issue of the population crisis, the article is about people not having children now, when they can, and that's cause of the cost of having a child. young people just don't want to spend money on em
You really think decades of population control has NO impact on Chinaâs current culture and economic system?
You think decades of people having to hide pregnancies, being rounded up in the middle of the night to have forced abortions, countless women being forcibly sterilized -
You think NONE of that has ANYTHING to do with their current problems getting people to have kids?!?
Worst little cunts on this site by far are those who respond to complaints about mundanely shitty behavior like âI canât stand when people donât put their grocery carts backâ with âum did you know that .000001% of the worldâs population has terminal Canât Put Grocery Carts Back Disease maybe think before you postâ
So instead of just calling this ableist (which it is) and moving on I'm going to explain why it is:
OP appears to be able bodied and making fun of disabled people and their allies. Instant red flag.
The reason physically disabled people do this is to remind you not to harass people who aren't doing what you consider the "bare minimum" of human activities. Able bodied people regularly forget that physically disabled people, especially invisibly disabled people, exist. We're reminding you that, as much as you hate it when people don't do the "bare minimum" in your eyes, you don't know someone's life and you shouldn't approach them about it.
OP appears to be [...] making fun of disabled people and their allies.
So instead of saying "yo, OP, just checking, are you making fun of disabled people and their allies?" so that OP could clarify, you just assumed malice and went on the attack.
How is that better than asking for OP to clarify? Does being outraged produce some kind of high for you and if OP were to clarify and possibly apologize for the misunderstanding, that would rob you of that buzz?
I'm physically disabled. I don't owe people pleasantries when they're attacking my community and its allies. If op is going to be ableist I'm going to call them out for it and it's not going to be pretty. Fuck off with your tone policing.
Itâs kind of a good thing everyone only has one life to live, because people like this would be constantly throwing their lives away fighting battles they shouldnât be.
genuinely so fucking tired of people leveraging the "groomer" argument against people who support sex ed because scientific literature over decades shows that comprehensive sex education starting around kindergarten actually prevents children from being sexually abused and groomed because it teaches children the correct words for their body parts and also teaches them concepts of privacy, personal space, bodily autonomy, the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching, and the fact that sex is something that only adults do. children with this knowledge are not only better equipped to identify abuse and predatory behavior and communicate that its happening to a trusted adult, but also prevent it from happening in the first place by recognizing when something is happening that shouldn't.
sex education does not sexualize children, it prevents children from being sexualized. anyone who is against early foundational sex education and claims they are doing it to protect children is a fucking liar.
people in the notes saying "it's the parents job to teach their kids that" as if child abuse isn't most common within families, especially at the hands of parents.
It's also important to note that bad sex ed, or deliberately malicious sex ed designed to actually groom children, is WORSE than having no sex ed.
It's not just parents. It's any adult that can be in power over a child who has the capacity to abuse them. Hell, it isn't even just adults. Kids even get abused by other kids.
Canât forget that teachers who are allies to radical TRA is always trying to shove an agenda into their curriculum. I canât imagine how awful they will be when the subject is directly related to sexïżŒ
The video opens a door to an outside industrial plant-like area. Snow is on the ground and there is otherwise some miscellaneous noise of factory work going on.
Then the person behind the camera lets off an âOooOOO AH AHâ ie the typical monkey sound.
Suddenly the air is filled with the cries of the humans imitating this monkey sound. No one is seen this entire time. You just hear the cries of people imitating monkeys.
Lockdowns during the first COVID-19 wave in the spring of 2020 only reduced COVID-19 mortality by .2% in the U.S. and Europe, according to a
Lockdowns during the first COVID-19 wave in the spring of 2020 only reduced COVID-19 mortality by .2% in the U.S. and Europe, according to a Johns Hopkins University meta-analysis of several studies.
"While this meta-analysis concludes that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects, they have imposed enormous economic and social costs where they have been adopted," the researchers wrote. "In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument."
The researchers â Johns Hopkins University economics professor Steve Hanke, Lund University economics professor Lars Jonung, and special advisor at Copenhagen's Center for Political Studies Jonas Herby â analyzed the effects of lockdown measures such as school shutdowns, business closures, and mask mandates on COVID-19 deaths.
"We find little to no evidence that mandated lockdowns in Europe and the United States had a noticeable effect on COVID-19 mortality rates," the researchers wrote.
The researchers also examined shelter-in-place orders, finding that they reduced COVID-19 mortality by 2.9%.
Studies that looked at only shelter-in-place orders found they reduced COVID-19 mortality by 5.1%, but studies that looked at shelter-in-place orders along with other lockdown measures found that shelter-in-place orders actually increased COVID-19 mortality by 2.8%.

The researchers concluded that limiting gatherings may have actually increased COVID-19 mortality.
"[Shelter-in-place orders] may isolate an infected person at home with his/her family where he/she risks infecting family members with a higher viral load, causing more severe illness," the researchers wrote.
"But often, lockdowns have limited peoplesâ access to safe (outdoor) places such as beaches, parks, and zoos, or included outdoor mask mandates or strict outdoor gathering restrictions, pushing people to meet at less safe (indoor) places."
The researchers also examined studies that focused on specific lockdown measures and found that the only intervention that reduced COVID-19 mortality was the closure of non-essential businesses, which reduced mortality by 10.6%, but this effect was likely driven by the closure of bars.
Researchers also pointed out other unintended consequences of lockdowns, such as rising unemployment, reduced schooling, an increase in domestic violence incidents, and surging drug overdoses.
From May 2020 to April 2021, the U.S. recorded 100,306 drug overdose deaths, a 28.5% increase from the 78,056 deaths that were recorded in the previous 12-month period, according to CDC data.
A study from the National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice last year found that domestic violence incidents increased 8.1% in the U.S. after lockdown orders were issued.
About 97% of U.S. teachers said that their students have experienced learning loss during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a Horace Mann survey last year.
The unemployment rate peaked nationwide at 14.8% in April 2020, but declined to 3.9% in December, which is still slightly higher than the 3.5% rate it was at in February 2020.
"These costs to society must be compared to the benefits of lockdowns, which our meta-analysis has shown are marginal at best," the researchers in the Johns Hopkins University study wrote.
"Such a standard benefit-cost calculation leads to a strong conclusion: lockdowns should be rejected out of hand as a pandemic policy instrument."
President Biden has pledged to focus on testing and vaccinations to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 instead of the lockdowns that characterized the earlier part of the pandemic.
"It doesnât include shutdowns or lockdowns, but widespread vaccinations and boosters and testing a lot more," Biden said in December about his winter plans for fighting the pandemic.
Several cities and states around the country still have mask mandates, remote learning, and other measures in place.

Lockdowns Had âLittle To Noâ Benefit On Public Health, Analysis Finds
If you wanna scare people, you use the hard numbers of COVID death. Despite the world population being nearly 8-billion, people will still freak out if .001% of these people die from Covid. Even if your narrow it down to the 393,000,000 who had COVID, of those infected only .1% died from it.
The genitals have nothin to do with that. Itâs about the testosterone and going through puberty as a man, like why would your genitals even affect your performance? The scenario being talked about would more likely be done in a lab on bodily samples, not some sports official inspecting a girlâs genitals in the locker room. Come on, I know some of you in the reblog section are smarter than this.
Walter white rly was like. How dare you offer to pay me for my cancer treatment, old best friend from college who holds me very dear. Iâm gonna kill tons of people and ruin my whole familyâs lives before I take a handout
when people say âBreaking Bad couldnât be made anywhere else but Americaâ theyâre usually referring to how Walter White would get free health treatment but imho thereâs something about Walterâs âiâll do stuff on my own, i donât need handouts you fuckâ attitude thatâs even more American
not to mention part of why he doesnât take that money is because he self sabotaged his future with the company his old best friend runs because he felt inadequate compared to his then-fianceeâs rich family (said fiancee is now old friendâs wife)
Someone saying âshe likes to kill babies but sheâs still my favorite big booty Latinaâ is exactly like being murdered by Nazis and this man should have been beaten to death by police who were not keeping AOC safe from words. I mean violence.
