Hey what the fuck is this news story?

“ But the world’s largest economies are already there: The total fertility rate among the OECD’s 38 member countries dropped to just 1.5 children per woman in 2022 from 3.3 children in 1960. That’s well below the “replacement level” of 2.1 children per woman needed to keep populations constant.

That means the supply of workers in many countries is quickly diminishing.

In the 1960s, there were six people of working age for every retired person, according to the World Economic Forum. Today, the ratio is closer to three-to-one. By 2035, it’s expected to be two-to-one.

Top executives at publicly traded US companies mentioned labor shortages nearly 7,000 times in earnings calls over the last decade, according to an analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis last week.

“A reduction in the share of workers can lead to labor shortages, which may raise the bargaining power of employees and lift wages — all of which is ultimately inflationary,” Simona Paravani-Mellinghoff, managing director at BlackRock, wrote in an analysis last year. “

Is this seriously how normal people think? Improving the bargaining power of workers and increased wages are bad?

“ And while net immigration has helped offset demographic problems facing rich countries in the past, the shrinking population is now a global phenomenon. “This is critical because it implies advanced economies may start to struggle to ‘import’ labour from such places either via migration or sourcing goods,” wrote Paravani-Mellinghoff.

By 2100, only six countries are expected to be having enough children to keep their populations stable: Africa’s Chad, Niger and Somalia, the Pacific islands of Samoa and Tonga, and Tajikistan, according to research published by the Lancet, a medical journal.

BlackRock’s expert advises her clients to invest in inflation-linked bonds, as well as inflation-hedging commodities like energy, industrial metals and agriculture and livestock.

Import labor via migration or sourcing goods? My brother in Christ they are modern day slaves!! I feel like I’m in backwards town reading this what the fuck?!

“ Elon Musk, father of 12 children, has remarked that falling birthrates will lead to “a civilization that ends not with a bang but a whimper, in adult diapers.”

While his words are incendiary, they’re not entirely wrong

P&G and Kimberly-Clark, which together make up more than half of the US diaper market, have seen baby diaper sales decline over the past few years. But adult diapers sales, they say, are a bright spot in their portfolios. “

Oh now the guy with a breeding kink is going to lecture us. Great. /s

“ The AI solution: Some business leaders and technologists see the boom in productivity through artificial intelligence as a potential solution.

“Here are the facts. We are not having enough children, and we have not been having enough children for long enough that there is a demographic crisis, former Google CEO and executive chairman Eric Schmidt said at the Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit in London last year.

“In aggregate, all the demographics say there’s going to be shortage of humans for jobs. Literally too many jobs and not enough people for at least the next 30 years,” Schmidt said.

Oh god not the AI tech bros coming into this shit too. Wasn’t the purpose of improving tech to give people more free time? So they can relax and spend time with family more and actually enjoy life? Isn’t our economy already bloated with useless pencil-pushing number-crunching desk jobs that ultimately don’t serve a purpose?

I’m not going to post the entire article but give it a read. It’s… certainly something. Anyway degrowth is the way of the future.

I'm thinking of writing a very long, multi-chapter human!au fic about Alastor (might be the caffiene talking and tomorrow I'll forget to go through with it lol) but I've got a ton of headcannons and have been thinking about a timeline for this thing for months now. Only thing is, I'm making a lot of ocs for it (keeping only Husk and Mimsy in the story) and I want the characters to be as era-accurate and culturally accurate as possible, so I was wondering if anybody here wanted to help beta it while I'm writing out the timeline and details.

I'm doing a ton of research, but I feel like for some of it, it's best to get real-person explanations on things, so here are some of the characters and details about them that I'd like to hear people's personal experiences with:

•Alastor's mother's side of the family:

African American with a lot of cultural roots in their history, such as their practice of Voodoo, and Fijian ancestry (I'd like to reference or even introduce a Fijian character, but I mainly add this piece of info to give Alastor some background with Cannibalism, not necessarily to introduce a character that actually practices). I'm p sure I have most of this down (outside of voodoo, which I'm still researching and will be putting a fantastical twist on) but if anybody has info or personal experiences they'd like to share, please reach out to me.

•Alastor's father's side of the family:

Alastor's father was non-religious, but grew up with an older sister in a catholic household. My dad's catholic so I'm p certain I can work with this, but again, help is welcome.

•Gay Muslim character that appears later:

I know a decent amount about Islam (more than I do about judiasm and I have jewish family lol) but I'd appreciate some tidbits on writing him since I'm def not Muslim myself and plan on writing a lot about this character's experience with discrimination, going to mosque, daily prayers and duties, and Qur'an lore, specifically relating to angels and armies in the afterlife/end of the world.

•Gang characters:

I'll admit that I'm not well-verses in early 1900's gang etiquette, but it's my hyperfixation rn so this is what's happening.

•Russian Husk:

I have some knowledge of Russian culture (specifically in a historical context) but am also looking for info relating to other east-European countries (such as Germany and Slovakia) since his background is going to have him moving around a lot before coming to the US.

•New Yorkers:

A lot of these characters come from New York (due to immigration, city-backgrounds, entertainment industry, etc.) and I'm p confident in my historical knowledge of the city and state, but fun facts are appreciated nonetheless.

•The Queers:

I'm planning on adding multiple gay/lesbian/bi characters to interact with Alastor's ace-ness to kind of compare to. I know some about old-time gay clubs, but if anybody wants to lmk more about them, I'd love to hear it.

•Tech:

I have no idea how modern tech works, so if I'm gonna write about Alastor starting his radio biz through mechanical work, I think I should know a thing or two about how it works lol

Anyways thanks! Might add more later!

EmoMuskrat at it again

… Elon Musk retaliated against Laura Loomer and other MAGA activists late last night after they spent the entire day roasting him and Vivek Ramaswamy after they said more immigration should be allowed for foreign workers/students in the tech industry.

… Essentially, their message was that there just aren’t enough smart Americans who have the work ethic to satisfy the Tech Bros, so those migrants should be allowed to come into the country to work for them while we mass deport the others who are working in the construction, agriculture, food processing and hospitality industries, where they fill jobs many Americans don’t want to do for low to modest wages.

… But Vivek took things even a step further than Musk, which further infuriated them, by blaming American culture for the Tech Bro’s labor shortage: “Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG. A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.”

… Some of MAGA may have been with him up to this point, but then Vivek went too far: “A culture that venerates Cory from ‘Boy Meets World,’ or Zach & Slater over Screech in ‘Saved by the Bell,’ or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in ‘Family Matters,’ will not produce the best engineers.”

… Now he’s talking in a language they can understand, and they aren’t liking what they are hearing.

… But he wasn’t done: “I know multiple sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates. More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of ‘Friends.’ More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.”

… Talk about smacking a MAGA hornet’s nest with a baseball bat.

… I knew right away as soon as I read it that Vivek was in deep trouble at that point, but apparently Vivek couldn’t figure that out. Probably why he couldn’t get out of the Iowa Caucus.

… Some really big right-wing social media influencers went nuts. Small ones too. Elon and Vivek were hammered all day and night by their new friends. The Vivek post drew 35,000 replies from irate right-wingers.

… Finally, right around midnight, the petulant child who bought X removed dozens of blue checks from his MAGA critics’ accounts, notified everyone that he was changing the algorithm to suppress their engagement, and removed their ability to get subscriptions from users.

… In other words, all the things they loved about him he took away from them because they were mean to him.

… For some reason, legacy media almost completely ignored this story. I guess MAGA activists close to Trump with millions of followers attacking Elon Musk and Vivek wasn’t an important story for them. But we were on stop of this every step of the way for the past 36 hours straight. I would like to thank every one of you who is able to help us do that so we don’t have to work for the Oligarchs or Tech Bros!

Florida Immigration News: What You Need to Know

Introduction

So, you’ve been hearing a lot about immigration in Florida lately, right? New laws, more restrictions, and a lot of heated debates. But what’s really going on? And how does it affect people living in Florida?

Let’s dive into the latest Florida immigration news and break down what it means for immigrants, residents, and the community. We’ll keep it simple, straightforward, and to the point.

What’s New in Florida Immigration?

The immigration scene in Florida is changing fast. New laws and policies are being put in place that affects everyone—from new arrivals to long-term residents.

Here’s a quick rundown of what’s been happening lately:

E-Verify for Jobs: Florida now requires employers to use E-Verify to check if their workers are legally allowed to work. This affects hiring across many industries.

Tighter Residency Rules: New rules make it tougher to prove you live in Florida, which can impact everything from school enrollment to getting a driver’s license.

Law Enforcement Involvement: Local police are now more involved in enforcing federal immigration laws, which has increased deportations.

How Are These Changes Affecting People in Florida?

These new laws aren’t just headlines—they’re affecting real lives. For many immigrants and their families, things are getting tougher.

What’s the Impact?

Jobs and Employment: With the new E-Verify requirements, some businesses are struggling to find workers, especially in sectors like farming and hospitality.

Housing Issues: Uncertainty about immigration status is making some people hesitant to buy homes or invest in property. This has created a bit of a ripple effect in the housing market.

What Do These New Policies Mean for Immigrants?

For immigrants, the stakes are high. The new rules make life more complicated, especially for those who are undocumented or in the process of getting their status sorted.

Key Points to Understand:

Why It Matters:

Labor Force: Many industries rely on immigrant labor to function, especially agriculture and hospitality.

I’m sure the internet is lit up with anecdotal stories about this hot issue with the American—and especially the MAGA—public. It was one of THE hot campaign issues in 2024. As well as in 2020 and 2016. How hot is it? This hot:

Elon Musk Changes Twitter Algorithm to Diminish MAGA Opposition to Silicon Valley Group and Support Influence Over Trump Policy

Sundance sees something more nefarious. I won’t argue against him because 1) I don’t know, but 2) it sounds all too plausible. We shall see:

Effective December 26, Elon Musk changed the Twitter algorithm to dimmish [sic] those voices who would openly confront his network of supporters within Silicon Valley and beyond. If large follower Twitter accounts, like those of Musk himself, David Sacks, Vivek Ramaswamy and Musks’ promoted network of influencers begin blocking accounts on the platform, then the voices of those accounts get purposefully diminished by the algorithm. … President Trump previously announced that David Sacks would lead the tech, crypto and AI policy group. The team being assembled by Sacks all support extended use of H1B visas to bring in “high skilled” foreign workers. The Musk team do not want publicly visible opposition to impede their agenda. To be fair, it makes sense for the tech network to do this because it’s akin to President Trump’s incoming chief of staff, Susie Wiles, saying she would not let what she defines as “clown car people” influence President Trump. It’s an issue of controlling a very directed policy initiative. However, the issues around immigration in general, and H1B visas specifically, are critically important to many of the long-term Trump supporters. Elon Musk is building a bubble around Donald Trump to diminish opposition to the technocratic influence. Mr Musk is shutting out, or at least making quiet, the core MAGA base while elevating a new group of arrivals that support Donald Trump. The new group of influential technocrats, billionaires in the tech industry and platform control operators, do not hold the same ideological interests as the core MAGA base. This is part of the reason for the conflict over the past week on the subject of H1B workers. …

So, here’s the anecdotal bit:

[huachengapologist]

Hey, friends. I know things have been looking dire ever since the election. It's so easy to give in to the negativity, to let the gloom and fear take control. But. BUT!

- There are more black judges on the federal bench than there have ever been, and the majority of them are women. - There are now 12 openly LGBTQ+ judges on the panel - 4 Muslim judges have been appointed, when there hasn't even been a single Muslim judge previously. - The Right is warring with each other as Trump's racist anti-immigrant MAGAs clash with Elon and his

techbros after Elon straight up admitted that he's specifically hiring immigrants because he doesn't consider Americans to be smart enough for the tech industry (that's his story at least... but I'd also argue that the fact that immigrants have less worker protections played no small part in this decision, which is Not Good, so the MAGA backlash might actually be BETTER for Elon Apartheid Musk's intended immigrant employees? Who will almost certainly have some of the worst possible working conditions.) - More and more Republicans in positions of power are standing up against Trump and Elon and refusing to kowtow. - Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh's attempts to use the CEO killing to further villainize the left backfired spectacularly, causing many of -- if not most of -- their fans to turn on them after their tone-deaf videos caused said fans to finally realize that Shapiro and Walsh's entire business models depended on the working class hating each other instead of the 1%.

I know there's more, but I'm running out of spoons. I just wanted to share a few of the things that have caused me, personally, to gain back at least a liiiiiiiiiittle bit of hope that things might not be as bad as they seem. So yeah. We take our wins when we can, right?

Final Thoughts

1 . Introduction

A recent study by economists at the University of Waterloo has brought surprising news for international students in Canada. It reveals that graduates from the university who were born outside of Canada tend to earn more than their Canadian-born counterparts. This significant finding comes after a detailed analysis of student records, immigration data, and income tax returns. If you’re considering studying in Canada, particularly at an institution like the University of Waterloo, this study could be very encouraging.

2. Key Findings of the Study

International Graduates' Earnings vs. Canadian-Born Graduates

The study focused on international students who graduated between 2017 and 2019. It found that one year after graduation, these international graduates earned an average of $57,500 annually—37% more than their Canadian-born peers, who earned $42,000 on average.

Median Earnings Comparison

The difference becomes even more striking when comparing the median earnings of international graduates and Canadian-born graduates. International graduates earned $56,400, while their Canadian-born peers earned only $38,700—a 46% gap in favor of international graduates.

Long-Term Earnings Growth

As the study tracked these graduates over the first 13 years of their careers, international students continued to outpace their Canadian-born peers. By year 13, international graduates’ salaries were between $100,000 and $120,000, compared to $100,000 for Canadian-born graduates.

3. Factors Contributing to Higher Earnings

So, what’s behind this earnings gap? Several factors play a role:

Increasing demand for tech and engineering skills: The University of Waterloo is known for its strong focus on technology and engineering programs. International students often pursue degrees in these fields, where the economic returns are higher due to the growing demand for skilled workers.

Co-op programs: Waterloo’s extensive co-op program offers students the opportunity to gain practical work experience while studying. This valuable experience helps graduates secure higher-paying jobs right after they finish their degrees.

4. The Role of Technology and Engineering Degrees

The higher salaries of international graduates can also be attributed to their strong presence in fields like technology and engineering. These industries are booming in Canada and globally, making graduates in these areas highly sought after. As the world becomes more reliant on technology, engineers and IT professionals are expected to see consistent salary growth, benefiting international students who specialize in these fields.

5. The Impact of Co-Op Programs

Another key factor contributing to the high earnings of international graduates is Waterloo’s co-op program. This program allows students to work part-time during their studies, gaining hands-on experience that significantly enhances their resumes. This practical experience often leads to higher-paying job opportunities after graduation.

6. Immigrant Success Stories in Canada

This study aligns with broader research that shows immigrants in Canada generally have better economic outcomes. A Statistics Canada study earlier this year found that immigrants who arrived in Canada as children are more likely to pursue higher education and, by the time they reach adulthood, their median wages often surpass those of Canadian-born residents.

7. International Students and Permanent Residency

70% of international students Waterloo university go on to become permanent residents of Canada, which is double of national average. For international students considering their future in Canada, this statistic is particularly encouraging. Obtaining permanent residency opens doors to even more career opportunities and benefits in Canada.

8. Conclusion: What This Means for Future International Students

This study demonstrates that international students at the University of Waterloo are not only earning more than their Canadian-born peers, but they are also setting themselves up for long-term success. With high-paying job opportunities and the potential for permanent residency, international students are making valuable contributions to Canada’s economy.

If you're an international student thinking about studying in Canada, particularly in fields like technology or engineering, Waterloo could be an excellent choice for you.

Bangkok's Tech Filipinos: Media Portrayals, RA 8042, and the Digital OFW Story

The narrative of the Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) is woven into the very fabric of the Philippines. From nurses to domestic helpers, seafarers to engineers, millions of Filipinos venture abroad seeking better opportunities, driven by a complex interplay of economic realities and familial obligations. This diaspora has had a profound impact on the Philippine economy, with remittances playing a vital role, but it also comes with a human cost – separation from loved ones, challenging working conditions, and sometimes, exploitation. This article will delve into the specific experiences of Filipino software developers in Bangkok, the rise of OFW blogs and vlogs, the context of the Migrant Workers Act of 1995, and the portrayal of OFWs in Filipino media, examining how these elements contribute to a broader understanding of the OFW experience.

The Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act of 1995 (Republic Act 8042), enacted on July 15, 1995, aimed to provide a framework for the protection and welfare of OFWs. It established mechanisms for recruitment, deployment, and repatriation, and sought to address issues like illegal recruitment and worker abuse. The years following its implementation have seen both progress and challenges. While the Act provided a much-needed legal foundation, its effective implementation has faced hurdles, highlighting the complexities of regulating an industry spanning multiple countries and involving a diverse range of employment situations. Monitoring compliance and ensuring access to legal remedies remain ongoing concerns.

For Filipino software developers working in Bangkok, Thailand, the experience offers a unique blend of challenges and rewards. Attracted by the burgeoning tech scene in the city and competitive salaries, these skilled workers find themselves navigating a foreign work environment while contributing their expertise to a dynamic industry. While Bangkok offers a relatively higher standard of living compared to some other destinations for OFWs, challenges still exist. These include language barriers, cultural adjustments, and navigating visa regulations. Furthermore, competition within the tech industry itself can be intense, requiring constant upskilling and adaptation to remain competitive.

The rise of the internet and social media has given birth to a new phenomenon: OFW blogs and vlogs. These platforms provide a direct channel for OFWs to share their stories, experiences, and insights, bypassing traditional media filters. They offer a glimpse into the everyday lives of OFWs, from the mundane to the extraordinary, from the joys of exploring a new culture to the struggles of homesickness and loneliness. OFW blogs and vlogs serve several crucial functions. They provide a platform for community building, connecting Filipinos scattered across the globe. They offer practical advice and tips on everything from navigating immigration procedures to finding affordable housing. Perhaps most importantly, they humanize the OFW experience, offering a counter-narrative to the often-stereotyped portrayals found in mainstream media.

The portrayal of OFWs in Filipino media has been a subject of ongoing debate. While some representations celebrate the resilience and sacrifice of OFWs, labeling them as "modern-day heroes," others fall into problematic stereotypes. Often, OFWs are depicted as either incredibly successful, sending home large sums of money and living lavish lifestyles, or as victims of abuse and exploitation, facing extreme hardship and struggling to survive. These portrayals, while sometimes based on real-life experiences, often lack nuance and fail to capture the diverse realities of OFW life. The focus on financial success can create unrealistic expectations and pressure on OFWs, while the overemphasis on hardship can perpetuate negative stereotypes and contribute to stigma.

The reality is that the OFW experience is multifaceted. For every software developer thriving in Bangkok, there are countless others working in various sectors, facing a wide range of challenges and opportunities. The media plays a powerful role in shaping public perception and understanding of these experiences. A more nuanced and balanced portrayal is crucial, one that acknowledges the complexities of working abroad, the sacrifices involved, and the diverse motivations and aspirations of OFWs. It is important to move beyond simplistic narratives and explore the individual stories, the human element behind the statistics and remittances.

The pursuit of better opportunities is a fundamental human drive. For many Filipinos, this pursuit leads them across borders, to countries like Thailand and beyond. Websites like OFWJobs.org provide valuable resources for Filipinos seeking employment opportunities overseas. This platform connects job seekers with potential employers and offers information on various aspects of working abroad. The availability of such resources highlights the ongoing demand for Filipino workers globally and the continuing importance of supporting and empowering them. OFWJobs.org

The internet age has also facilitated the creation of online communities and forums where OFWs can connect, share information, and support each other. These platforms serve as vital lifelines for those navigating the complexities of living and working abroad, providing a sense of belonging and shared experience. The ability to connect with others facing similar challenges can be incredibly valuable, offering emotional support, practical advice, and a sense of community in a foreign land.

The impact of remittances on the Philippine economy is undeniable. These inflows of money support families, contribute to consumer spending, and play a role in national development. However, the reliance on remittances also raises important questions about the long-term economic sustainability and the need for creating more diverse and robust economic opportunities within the Philippines. It is crucial to address the underlying factors that drive Filipinos to seek work abroad and to invest in creating a more vibrant domestic economy that can provide sustainable and fulfilling employment opportunities.

Moving forward, it is imperative that policymakers, media organizations, and society as a whole work towards a more comprehensive understanding of the OFW experience. This includes strengthening the implementation of protective legislation, promoting ethical recruitment practices, and fostering a more nuanced and respectful portrayal of OFWs in media. The stories of OFWs, from software developers in Bangkok to those working in other sectors around the world, are integral to the Filipino narrative. It is through acknowledging their contributions, understanding their challenges, and celebrating their resilience that we can truly appreciate the complexities and the human cost of working abroad. The journey of the OFW is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Filipino people, their unwavering dedication to their families, and their pursuit of a better future. It is a story that deserves to be told with accuracy, empathy, and respect.
