The interesting 1-2 that is going on is that the US is deskilling at a rate that would already be leading to competency-based collapse - but it is holding that off by outsourcing the competence.
Taiwan, SK & Japan provide the high tech products, while H1B visas 1/
Even as the Bioleninist Coalition rapidly degrades domestic capability, it relies on allies/vassals that are not Bioleninist - most particularly in Asia - to deliver the tech. Moving some defense manufacturing to Japan, which unlike the US can still

manufacture the systems shows that this process of moving production to racially cohesive cultures extends the parasitic Bioleninists ability to survive.
Ultimately, this will lead to a far faster fall, unless the situation can be changed.

Technology makes most jobs, including farming, 10X to 20X easier than they were 2 centuries ago. We should have extraordinary amounts of free time. But, we don't. Why?
Every aspect of modern society is set up to allow multiple people to not (really) work, for each who does.

Taxes are far higher from a societal perspective than what is ever presented. This isn't that hard to see.
Income taxes. Sales taxes. Property taxes. Medicare taxes. Social Security taxes. Gas taxes. Licenses & business taxes
Put all together - over 50% for genuine producers
2/
But, here's the most important part - the producers buy from each other. Every time you pay another producer, you have to pay enough to cover their more than 50% in total taxes, from what you have left in your less than 50% after taxes.

The #1 priority for engineering colleges across the nation right now is attracting more women & minority engineers.
However, there's a problem. Engineering is hard. Things like calculus-based physics are really hard. Let's explore how colleges are getting around this. 1/
I have knowledge of a calculus-based physics course at a major college, that every engineer must pass. But, while it is critical, the college absolutely does not want the physics to be a "weed out" class, that could be problematic for the women & minority students.
2/
So, how do they get around the problem? Team work. Team work is critical is critical for engineering classes around the country right now, to an extent it never used to be. Employers demand it.
So, only ~25% of the grade for the physics class in question is individual exams.

Human sexuality has an animal basis - evolutionary biology, the quite different reproduction strategies for men & women that lead to descendants reaching adulthood.
Every civilized society, until now, tried to channel those base instincts into something beneficial for society 1/
Women had a mostly reliable strategy to find a man who would provide for their entire lives, who would protect them from other men, and who would provide a stable family & economic base for raising their childhood to adulthood.
In the West, women were treated well.
2/
But, for this to occur, women had to channel their sexuality. They had to have morals. They couldn't be promiscuous sluts opening their legs for whatever guy looked hot to them. Some women still did that of course, human nature, and they paid a high social cost for their behavior
My hot take is that women being unable to find "good men" is almost entirely the fault of the women. His daughter likely met many dozens of great young men, fine marriage material - and didn't even notice them. What got her romantic (sexual) interest was good-looking bad boys. 1/
We had many centuries of strict social controls to keep this from being a problem. Those all got tossed during the sexual revolution. And now that it's the granddaughters of the original "liberated" women, and the last remnants of shame or duty are gone -
2/
women are making remarkably bad choices, and then blaming the men! LOL.
Now, I'm not saying that this is true of all young women, of course not! That would be as ridiculous as saying it always the fault of the young men. Reality is always mixed.

This was often referred to as the "brain drain", it was intentionally created, it was a problem for the Heartland for decades - and it has reversed over the last 5 years.
CA now comes to top Midwestern schools, even as the Northeast goes to the South because of DEI admissions 1/
Historically, the Ivies & adjacents used to recruit from every state, taking only the top students, which let them claim to be a national elite, while draining the best from the interior.
2/
However, they didn't take nearly all of the best students, most of the top 1% still went to state flagship & other universities. If we hold the admissions scores constant, then based on a number of studies - students don't actually get better educations at the Ivies.

The thread & linked article below are each vital for understanding the future of Europe - and its future options.
Europe has been quite thoroughly played by China. In the process they've created a global competitor who could depress European standards of living for decades. 1/
The graphs are well worth studying in both the thread & article.
Basically, China set out a trap for Europe, that was invisible from a financial globalization perspective, but was always clearly visible from a nation-state, competing geopolitical bloc perspective.
2/
All of European (and US) markets & corporations are suckers for growth rates. So, China set out the lure - access to the greatest growth rates in the world. But, there was a price, that was invisible to the financial markets & CEOs.
