1. Hatchery fish survival rates just stink in general, especially compared to healthy wild stocks, thats why managers play a numbers game with them. They don’t sustain themselves by subsequently breeding in the stream they are stocked in (natal stream for wild stocks), they just provide some more opportunity for users.

So things would get crowded more slowly and we’d still get more open space and opportunities for wildlife outside of India and China, although IIRC China is about to start, if not already has, entered into its own population decline. It is Africa where the biggest growth is, but for the rest of the world, a managed…

Yes, and countries with low birth rates in need of workers can short-term open up for migration. Low birth rates are only a problem if you exclude people from the rest of the world.

Have we considered just learning to live with lower birth rates until the world gets back down to the less crowded four-five billion again? Apart from anything else, it’d be better for the planet and for the workforce who would be able to get paid more again.

Elon Musk spent all of 2023 insulting his most important customer base, and promoting causes they find repugnant. Is this a surprise to anyone?

and arguing that “she is not a United States citizen.”

Cops seem to have a hard on for sovereign citizen loonies, which I heartily approve of. I just wish they had similar hard ons for Nazis, Proud Boys, MAGA degens, and others of their ilk. Guess that’s tricky though considering so many of their fellow cops are sympathizers of these groups, if not actual members.

police “have no jurisdiction over” Mercado, and arguing that “she is not a United States citizen.”

What do you mean "until"? SovCit twits make up a disproportionately large percentage of people who shoot at cops during traffic stops

Hmm seems like publicly stating you don’t pay taxes is a good way to end up on the IRS’s radar.
