The reason we need immigration is not because we need population growth per se', it's because we have an aging population, that once it hits retirement consumes a lot of resources, but beyond a bit of Soylent Green produces none.

It's f**king awesome though that the largest cohort of One Nation voters, the over 55's, are also the ones who now benefit most from our historical levels of immigration.

Bring in a massive tax on the wealthy/elites (basically a death tax) to cover the load of the aging population - we need to reduce the population as it is the biggest thing leading to urban sprawl and habitat destruction - I support a massive reduction of the immigration numbers and a massive death tax.

Again, we are getting older, without immigration we end up with everyone needing their arse wiped, but no arse wipers.

Your plan is unworkable until such time as we have arse wiping AI.

One person can wipe between 100 and 200 arses per day.
I don't think your argument is a strong one.
I acknowledge that the quality of life of elderly isnt going to be as awesome as planned for but it is still going to be good (way better than the elderly have had it for most of the last 1million years).

It's a metaphor representing the fact that retirees for the most part consume, but do not produce.

The elderly are happy with bingo, TV and having a dog around. They are only big consumers now because we live in luxurious times.

Ah, so your solution involves telling boomers to pull their socks up and stop being so entitled.

I wish you luck with that good sir.

What is Greta Thunberg diagnosed with?

Greta Thunberg has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome (now part of Autism Spectrum Disorder), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and selective mutism, conditions she discusses openly, viewing her autism as a "superpower" that helps her focus intensely on climate activism, allowing her to see and speak truths others might ignore, while her selective mutism means she speaks only when necessary, making her words impactful. Her diagnosis helped her find purpose and community in the climate movement after periods of depression, giving her a unique perspective.

Key Diagnoses & How She Sees Them
  • Asperger's Syndrome (Autism Spectrum Disorder):
    Thunberg sees her autism as a strength, enabling deep focus (a "special interest" in climate) and a different, more direct way of thinking, which she calls a "superpower".

  • Selective Mutism:
    This means she often doesn't speak unless it's crucial, which adds weight to her rare public statements.

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD):
    This condition also contributes to her intense dedication and focus on the climate crisis.
Impact on Her Activism
  • Finding Purpose:
    Before activism, she experienced depression and an eating disorder; joining the climate movement gave her meaning, friendship, and a welcome community.

  • Moral Clarity:
    Her conditions contribute to her blunt, honest communication about climate science, as she's less swayed by social pressure and more driven by facts.

  • Advocacy:
    She advocates for other neurodivergent people, noting many autistic individuals are drawn to the movement because they feel compelled to address the climate crisis directly.
