Is that what the dungeon in your new bunker is for?

No, that stuff and the walk in freezer are to store your sloppy seconds.
But I’m still waiting on the authorizations to build a rail road for the deliveries since the neighbors are really starting to complain about the frozen delivery trucks traffic coming daily to my place.
And With the price of fuel these days I’m getting hammered with that “last mile” cost issue. Plus with your standards on par with most Russian while considering antifreeze for personal use I can’t even consider feeding the excess …sidewalk… …meat… to the strays…
Radioactive mutant felines with cases of superclap is not what the world needs right now.

As birth and fertility rates fall, there is official concern about the economic impact of a declining and ageing population

Before I found my current unicorn, my take away from dating here is it's leaning towards the same problem as the west. Women constantly declaring how special they are, how independent they are, and raising their standards to unrealistic levels that only rise as they age while their appeal declines. Making good money does not replace their sexual appeal. They're not thinking about children either, "it'll happen later." They all seem to say the same thing, "nowadays, women can have children at 42." Most are so lazy they haven't actually looked in to this and actually done the prep work....but yes, if you got the money, this is potentially possible....not guaranteed though, and brings with it other risks.

Is there a good way to say this?

"Kimiko, 90% of your eggs were gone at 30 and only a degraded and reduced quality 3% will be left at 40. If you wait and do manage to get pregnant with these bottom of you ovary eggs, you're dealing with eggs that have an increased risk of genetic defects and a high risk geriatric pregnancy. It's not a good plan to put off having children til later and later and later."

The feminazi's will rebute with the claim "men have a fertility clock too!!" (true, but as unfair as it is, not as early) or rant about how "science should have already solved this problem." The patriarchy!! something, something.

I'm not trying to slam mothers who had children later in life, I know several some are doing great....the point is it's not a good concept to be pushing on society unless an increase in borked babies and population collapse is the desired outcome.

Old Japan, young India and the risks of a world of 8bn people

https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Asia- ... 8bn-people

TOKYO/NEW DELHI -- The year 2023 marks a historic turning point for Asia's demography: For the first time in the modern era, India is projected to surpass China as the most populous country.

While the South Asian nation's growing and youthful population spells opportunities for development, it also creates layers of challenges, from poverty reduction to education. Experts say soaring demand for food could affect India's trade with other countries, while the World Bank recently estimated that India will need to invest $840 billion into urban infrastructure over the next 15 years to support its swelling citizenry.

"This is likely to put additional pressure on the already stretched urban infrastructure and services of Indian cities -- with more demand for clean drinking water, reliable power supply, efficient and safe road transport amongst others," the bank's report said.

India's dilemmas are only part of a complex and diverging Asian population picture -- split between young, growing countries and aging, declining ones. Humanity's latest milestone turns a spotlight on this gap and the problems on both sides of it.

The United Nations, whose population estimates date back to 1950, announced on Nov. 15 that the global population had likely hit the 8 billion mark. It had crossed 7 billion only 11 years earlier.

Asia is home to more than half of the 8 billion.

Besides China (1.426 billion) and India (1.417 billion), five other Asian countries had over 100 million people as of 2022, the U.N. figures show. Indonesia had 276 million, Pakistan's population was at 236 million, Bangladesh counted 171 million, Japan had 124 million and the Philippines had 116 million. Vietnam, with 98 million, is expected to join the club soon.

Reaching a world of 8 billion people signals significant improvements in public health that have increased life expectancy, the U.N. said. But it also pointed out, "The world is more demographically diverse than ever before, with countries facing starkly different population trends ranging from growth to decline."

Nowhere is this more apparent than in Asia. The region has young countries with a median age in the 20s, such as India (27.9 years old), Pakistan (20.4) and the Philippines (24.7), as well as old economies with median ages in the 40s, including Japan (48.7) and South Korea (43.9). The gap between the young and the old has gradually widened over the past decades.
