@theotherbrook - Hm. The busy environment is often an issue, but Mac OS doesn't seem to handle it well. Keep yelling at Affinity, esp if it's costing them business! Punching them in the wallet is most effective since they're little guys and $s count.

What a lot of hooey. Nicholas Eberstadt is from the American Enterprise Institute, a “center-right” think tank in D.C. If he wants to worry about citizens’ #disaffection with their bleak future, he can stay home and talk to Americans. I don’t give a damn what he has to say about the Chinese. https://universeodon.com/@Bongolian/109949399076106922

Nicholas Eberstadt: China’s collapsing birth and marriage rates reflect a people’s deep pessimism "China’s nosedive in childbearing is a silent alarm. It signals deep #disaffection with the bleak future the regime is engineering for its subjects. In this land without #democracy, the birth collapse can be read as a landslide vote of no confidence in President Xi Jinping’s rule." People hate dictatorships and the consequences thereof unless they are direct beneficiaries. #china #xijinping #demography #dictatorship #Lastgeneration https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/02/28/behind-china-collapse-birth-marriage-rates

China’s collapsing birth and marriage rates reflect a people’s deep pessimism

Such drastic plunges usually happen amid cataclysmic upheavals, not relative social and economic calm. This is a vote of no confidence in President Xi Jinping's rule.
