California Oil Companies Face Tougher Enforcement Under New Law

  • There is a common misconception that many women prioritize their careers over family relationships because they believe their self-worth comes from professional success. However, this myth is often perpetuated by right-wing extremists that seek to avoid addressing the need to improve material conditions for the majority.

    Maybe? But it seems his fundamental premises is right wingers screaming about culutre are bad

    From his Medium site, he apparently also thinks about food security in other countries

    It is hard to draw conclusions, but I fail to see smoke

  • Next, let’s talk about British millennials. Before we assign them the blame label, it’s worth diving into some history. The birth rate in the UK has declined since 2013, and this decline isn’t floating in a vacuum. Its roots trace back to the austerity measures implemented post-2008 financial crisis. These cuts have deeply affected social care, welfare, and local government. Between 2010 and 2017, private rents soared by 24%, while social housing options dwindled. Adults, particularly young ones, found themselves either stuck with rising rents or moving back in with their parents. Combine this with the growth of precarious employment, and you get a generation deeply impacted by retreating state support and a daunting economic landscape.

    You forget this part from the same article, which changes the context quite a bit

  • the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Israel offer lessons. These countries have managed to increase fertility rates by introducing pro-natal policies — a combination of cash incentives, subsidised childcare, and housing assistance

    On the other hand, they are explicity focusing on the increase in social benefits, not anything dealing with anti-choice elements, and praised American Democrats for expanding Paid Leave and Unemployment, not to mention you guys left out this quote

    If this was a right wing rag or an astroturfed group like pronatalist.org, then they would focus on culture or other nonsensical dogwhistles, but they are clearly hostile towards the right but willing to give praise to anyone who increase social spending

  • The part of population decline isn’t good if it’s cause is people unable to afford homes or stagnate wages.

    Hell, in the UK Birthrates plummeted because of the sheer damage Tories have caused us since they took over in 2008

  • That’s spot on, and a lot their resistance to any sort of regulation is more out of distaste that the lessers put rules on them and it’s their right to abuse others and the environment

    Progress can’t be made without that understanding
