Do you always just make shit up?

Labor force participation rate, 1948-present: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/gr...,

With a nice peak when GenX was all 25-45...when you claim there was a peak of stay-at-home parents.
Boomers, supposedly all working in the post-war boom...yet that's the bottom of the graph. The "post war boom" does not extend to the 1980s.
Millennials all supposedly working because they're not getting married? Hey look, it's another trough despite them all being 25-45 now.
Millennials are all getting divorced? The divorce rate has hit a 50-year low.

Sure! That's why daycare costs are skyrocketing. Because of all the free daycare by grandparents. Because when there's tons of free supply, the paid version gets super-expensive!

So, do you just make shit up, or are you completely detached from reality?

Turns out when people actually studied what happens with phytoestrogens in the diet, they're destroyed by digestion.

But the meme is just too valuable to some people for reality to intrude.

Many parts of plants we eat are called "the meat of [plant]" or "the flesh of [plant]"

Unfortunately for your beliefs, we have reality to measure them against. Every time a country starts educating its women to a high-school level, birth rate drops a lot.

It's not waiting until they're 30, nor is it some bullshit about men no longer being worthwhile. No matter how much you want to pretend you're a superior specimen.

Most of the technophiles have moved on to other sites. Most of what's left on Slashdot are the curmudgeons who hate change.

Dairy cows are not used for meat, and vice-versa. They've been selectively bred so far apart that they're not that useful for the other's products.

For example, "meat cows" don't produce nearly as much milk. And diary cows have very tough meat.

You should find whoever taught you biology and ask for a refund.

It doesn't mean "no spares anywhere ever" in theory, and when done by competent companies.

But in practice, it means "no spares anywhere ever", because the vast majority of management is incompetent. And selling off that warehouse gooses this quarter's numbers, making their bonus much larger. No matter how needed that warehouse is when supply chains don't operate flawlessly. That's the next guy's problem.

Nah, CEOs only care about the next quarter since that's all that matters for their options.

It takes a lot longer than that for moving to China to burn the company, and they'll probably have pulled their golden parachute before it hurts the company that much.

No, it's still a wage issue.

Labor force participation is low compared to recent decades. Some of those people will never join the workforce, but there are plenty who would if you pay more.

For example, there's a lot of stay-at-home parents who would like to work, but daycare would consume all of their paycheck. So they don't work because it literally makes everything worse. Pay more, or offer daycare as a benefit, and those people would start working.

Are you under the illusion that mail trucks are off-the-shelf commercial vehicles?

Because the ICE trucks they picked are most definitely not.

Ford is releasing an all-electric and a hybrid this year. Chevy is releasing two electric models next year. Amazon, UPS and FedEx are all testing prototypes.

The subduction zone is much further North. As in, Washington. The major faults in Southern California are horizontal faults.

Also, the reason they can't build a new one not so near a fault line is "not near a fault line" pretty much excludes building one in California.

Stay a while and listen.

The ones with a lucrative (quasi) government contract.
