Gone south. Info on impact of depopulation short bites.

 I didn’t set my blog up really to do much but be a sort of journal and to learn html at the time.  I had quite a few blogs I used to learn HTML and by now I’ve forgotten what I learned but it served me at the time and it served google who was alway on my blog to invent ways for ppl to create changeable blogs 

I changed mine seasonally to see what different color arrangements etc would look like. Im an artist, a designer by nature and artist and I’m a scholar . 

Google used my blog designs, that’s ok  they bought out blogger  nothing I could do about intellectual property there.  

Sometimes we contribute to the greater good anonymously  

That’s ok  I don’t need money for everything I do  thank goodness  

Here’s a contribution I’ll journal in here today in case anyone’s showing up  other than a few old  desperate girlfriends of my ex I doubt anyone will show up .. 🤣🤣🤣


Anyway this is a short note about depopulation  in the world and its impact on us and how it’s impacting us and will impact us continually. 

The new admin coming into power doesn’t appear to be aware of these influences  but read on if you think things are amiss in the world thnx.

There is this depopulation problem in the world that most ppl are unaware of. It’s prob the real reason prices in everything have escalated.  And more jobs are filling and service is worse. China is no different in fact far worse for generational workers to replace workers from a generation that had many more children per couple. They will not have enough workers to fill their big factories. Covid deaths too have been a factor plus older generations of boomers here who guided younger people retired to save their lives during covid.  

We are in a crisis now. I slugged it out with Lowes for instance for 6 months to get doors, new doors installed. They cancelled over and over at the last minute. I’ll never shop  Lowes again. But the problem is widespread. 

Tariffs on goods will not help our country and is a lame brained idea now since we need what China gives us awhile longer while we build factories to become more self sustaining because we won’t be able to get things we need from China after the next 5-10 years due to their tyrannical control over their ppl. This is why 1 child to a couple enforced is prob going to take China down. 

Regionalism is back on the table as a necessity for many reasons. Vs globalism we have had for the past 75 years. And our new president seems clueless about it. We need Chinese goods until we can rebuild and we need to align with Neighbirs, Canada and Mexico. And we need their workers in our fields. 

I’m away on biz so also writing on my phone which is iffy always  bear with me I’m not editing .
