Our justice system is terrible. Look at the huge racist disparities like 5-10x rate of incarceration of Black people for weed, even though Whites use weed at similar rates. Then the for profit prisons, ridiculously high sentences, appalling prison conditions, and mass incarceration of 21% of the world's prison population.

pcbro141··on Does QE Cause Wealth Inequality?
I bought AMD Jan 2023 $90 options for $13 earlier in the year when AMD was trading ~$80. So the breakeven price is $103 by Jan 2023 which I found not very risky looking at the accelerating EPS growth.

Look how much I'm up by buying close to the money options instead of buying shares at $80: https://i.imgur.com/vYHl1LY.png

pcbro141··on Divorce does funny things
I think the primary issue with the hetero 'relationship market' these days, is that it's not really a 'relationship' market if you mean stable relationships. People aren't really looking for stable long term relationships as much. Women are much more open to the idea of having a baby outside of marriage and also intentionally being a single mother than they were in the past.

Because women don't really have to settle for 1 man anymore (less stigma nowadays about being single into your 30s/single mother), it becomes more of a hookup market, and naturally women will always have more leverage when it comes to the hookup market due to men's natural higher levels of horniness/willingness to hookup with a wider variety of women than vice versa. If it was a relationship market where everyone has to eventually choose 1 person to settle with like in the past, women wouldn't have as much leverage. You can only have things like '80/20' rule if the market isn't about monogamy (it's not actually 80/20 in reality, but the general dynamic of a minority of men having most of the success with women). Everyone would end up with the same level of success, because everyone would end up with 1 partner if the market was about monogamous stable long term relationships.

Fair enough, thanks for expanding and that makes sense. I agree ideally we would have more people beyond just the 2 parents around to lean on to help raise kids. Preferably the 2 parents (where possible, not advocating you stick with an abusive partner) plus extended family nearby at the very least. I like the multigenerational lifestyle too.

> Ahh, by the time I finish posting you've come and brought up the "nuclear family"

> Hard to imagine anything good will come from a discussion hinging on that.

Genuine question, why does it sound like you find me advocating for a 2 parent household almost offensive? Is it because you don't believe any of the data about kids raised in 2 parent households is valid? From my perspective, I genuinely don't understand your reaction here at all because I thought this was a generally accepted fact in psychology/sociology.

I'm just asking out of curiosity for your perspective, I promise I'm not baiting you into a debate :)

I'm not talking solely about births (didn't even mention the birth rate), I'm saying for mental health/general thriving of society too.

Kids raised in married 2 parent households are less likely to end up homeless, achieve better academically and earn more, have less depression/suicide rates etc. Literally every outcome is better for stable 2 parent homes. The decline of the 2 parent nuclear family means more kids will suffer.

I don't really understand why it has to be either or. You can have your population decline if you want, but why does that have to mean single parent homes?

Can't you raise your 1 or 2 kids in the context of marriage to give them a higher chance of a better outcome, and still have your population decline?

pcbro141··on Divorce does funny things
Decline of marriage, high divorce rate, increasing single parent rate, inflation/wage stagnation, young men increasingly 'opting out' and sexless, doesn't sound good for the future. The relationship market in the West seems horribly broken, not good at all if you want a thriving happy society.

pcbro141··on The Married Will Soon Be the Minority
Interesting times ahead. Especially for Gen Z and younger, who rely heavily on dating apps instead of going out to meet new potential partners. Dating apps which are highly ineffective at actually generating relationships for most people (particularly for straight males). I predict Gen Z birth rate will be less than 1 per woman, but this might not be a problem for Western economies for now as Western countries can just increase immigration.
pcbro141··on Overly analytical guide to escorting
Prices are inflated in the US, I guess because it's illegal. In the UK you can bang a really hot clean looking escort for like $200.
