I don't doubt you, but do you have a source? I don't know anything about the economics of France and I'm kind of interested now.

Some anecdata: I've seen a big increase in pro-Chinese commentors on the internet in the past year or so. HN especially. It keeps popping up in subtle ways. I'm not saying it's necessarily propaganda or psyops, but we'd

I've met too many millenials who want kids but can't afford them or the stuff you should have before you have kids to agree with you. From what I've seen, it's lack of stable employment, stable housing and decent support

Start counting in binary on your fingers until you're just about "binary native". Also, perform operations, and think about why they behave the way they do. It sounds a little woo-woo but going from representing something on

Problem was you weren't even allowed to speculate about this and consider that the possibility warranted more investigation without being written off as a "Trumper." I've seen huge family fights over this very issue and
