kwere··on Why America's economy is soaring ahead of its rivals
the last time debt was this high was WW2, after it millions of working age men came back contributing to the economy. today the opposite is true, millions of people are exiting the workforce to retire, draining resources like Social Security.

kwere··on The size of BYD's factory

I would love Google developing an Android desktop enviroment meant to be used as an OS alternative to Windows and MacOS. Probably they can have a native compatibility with Linux software, and maybe bring some good UI, UX. Midrange Phone hardware can handle your average productivity needs.

Desktop Mode in Android 15 looks like a move into a desktop set up.

Republicans repells educated, single, liberal women for the same reasons Democrats struggle with straight, masculine, traditional males. They demonize and act often hostile to such demographics. Both believe others "wrong" behaviours should be corrected.

Democrats appealed historically to men as the working class party, image that kamala couldnt sell.

kwere··on Trump wins presidency for second time
they will purge the token hires to show a return to "normalcy" and thats it. Young grassroot talents will be ignored or marginalized as always. DNC is such a small club, even Gavin Newsom, the most "presentable" dem is an outsider. He left out some snarky remarks on how "the machine" works on pod save america podcast.

Authoritarianism is present in a lot of postmodern "leftist" movements that captivate younger women votes. it's justified with "fig leaves" reasons like curtailing free speech to contain hate speech, limiting liberties in the name of safety, Coercing personal behavior for greater causes like climate change, giving privileges to certain groups in the name of "penitence to ancestral sins", etc....

Isolationism is an issue that is hurting women too, way less than males as women tend to have stronger social networks

While at scale there isnt a trend of Reactionism, it looks that there is a greater political polarization and advocacy that compared to past generations hinders relations between ideologically different/incompatible groups

kwere··on Dramatic drop in marijuana use among U.S. youth over a decade
record amount of women are set to be single and childless past the fertility window, the most reasonable cause is a "lack of eligible bachelors"[0] in similar or better socioeconomic conditions.
