Will black and brown people be eligible for their incentives I wonder?

And you thought Handmaid’s Tale was fiction?

Actually Margaret Attwood herself has says it's the reality that has been faced by women of color and migrants, but the "shock" of the book was it was happening to white women. Something white women in Trump's US are realising

@nytimes.com is a propaganda machine. They're pretty much how Trump ever even became a candidate

Who inspired the Hungarians? That’s the real story.

The birth rate in Hungary plummeted. Odd how living in an oppressive society can do that.

Birth rates improve when there is economic growth and opportunity. Basically people getting married when they are young.

We are in a long era when a majority are pessimistic about the future.

It is much easier for the US just attract people from abroad, no need to spend money on raising them.

They already have the menstrual data of anyone using a period tracking app (other than Euki)
