Everything is a crisis if you can't control your impulses.

    Some people just can't resist the urge to feed their families.

      Some people also can't resist the urge to create large families they can't afford.

        That’s becoming a very small part of the population, as birth rates fall across the board.

        Is hardly the childrens fault. It is also hard to go back on if your circumstances change

    I suppose it's easier to blame ones self than to critique capitalism

    • bpt3 2 days ago

      Easier or not, it's certainly more productive to focus on what you can control.

      Also I'm open to critiques of capitalism, but the post I replied to didn't contain one.

      I guess more people died of starvation under socialism than under capitalism.

      blaming capitalism is extremely useless

        Until it isn't because enough people realize it is inherently flawed and will never result in stability and they would rather die than relegate themselves, their children, and all their later generations, to indefinite servitude of an outdated economic system. Provided we don't kill our world first in our pursuit of endless profit growth.

          I'd much rather deal with some less stability and have a lot more resources available to smooth out the bumps.

          The US has made the correct choice for the last 250 years, I hope people like you aren't able to derail it.

        it is if that's all people do, but I think it is a necessary step to realize that we do live under a system that encourages an amoral allocation of resources. If people only ever shrug that off or treat it as intractable it will never change. Some would argue that it cannot be changed, but I think that just means they haven't read history.
