And with the decline in birth rates armies are going to have smaller pools of people to recruit from. Even the US army is experiencing a shortfall, and it’s not getting better any time soon. Perun did a great video of this just recently.
It makes sense that if militaries won’t be able to recruit the quantity and quality of troops that they would like to, they’d need to supplement those numbers with some kind of force multiplier.
Dude. The UK broke its trade deals and left. Now it pays increased taxes on all goods and services from the EU.

Asking why is meaningless, it’s an artifact of how our brains are wired.
Our brains are evolved to try to understand the world around us in terms of reason; if this happens then that happens. It makes sense when looking at the chain of results that cascade out of the fireworks of creation; chemistry, biology and physics. The arrow of time points one way and we have evolved around that premise.
It doesn’t mean that our intuitions are correct or even vaguely headed down the right path. We’re a victim of that arrow of time, the path of the world we live in.
I can’t speak to the other countries on this list but South Africa had ample access to vaccines. The take-up was low. Reasons offered were doubts around the efficacy and conservative attitudes to modern medicine.
As a first-time user I’m enjoying Lemmy. I feel like I want to contribute mostly because I won’t have an immediately antithetical comment to follow my own. Am not looking for an echo chamber, I’m looking for conversation and sharing ideas. Reddit has devolved and this seems like the best way forward, for now.
You know there’s a crapload more reactors than Fukukishima, right? Like over 70% of France’s energy demands are met with nuclear power.
The issue here is that you are parroting the devisive argument that investors in oil have been putting out for decades. You are also ignoring the harm that outputting millions of tonnes of carbon-based effluent has on the world’s population as a whole.
Gram for gram nuclear is safer and your horror stories should be discounted. Retort:

Cool, keep on with your ‘nuclear bad’ narrative. It does objectively less harm than carbon-based energy.
We can bury it in the ground and it will literally turn into lead. How are you doing with carbon emissions? Got a fix?
Least original post: the dumbass comments parroting the same joke from 2018. It’s not even bots, it’s the zeitgeist and it’s only gonna get worse. Insert ‘old_man_shouts_at_sky.gif’
Man if you insist on Arch that’s a you problem and not a hardware platform problem. I’m not a Dell fanboy but my XPS 13 is doing great, six years in with a battery change running of all things Win10 with WSL. It’s hassle-free dev environment.
woooosh
