You'll have excess support they built and by dying soon will cease to need.

What do you imagine was somehow "taken" and is somehow lost? The fewer people the better quality of life. The sooner the US population starts shrinking the more assets to go around. Growth is bad. It only happened because humans were too stupid not to breed like rats.

Society is quite efficient at redistributing assets of the dead. How do you imagine your predecessors got land and homes? Death solves far more problems than it creates. Plan wisely and profit therefrom. Choose to be versatile and capable. Blaming externalities is a waste of thought.

The situation is certainly no reason to seek population growth which is purely bad for all but rich real estate developers.

Population decline is pure win.

Why enrich a genocidal enemy society we and our remaining allies spend trillions to contain? That's slow, inexorable economic suicide.

Communist China abandoned communism but not oppression and ultranationalism. Uighers being Muslim even those who hate US strategic mistakes in the Middle Eastdon't complain about Chinese genocide when the target minority lacks appeal.

Amusing that those yowling about other US strategic mistakes are silent when an enemy society sells us shiny objects so the Epstein class can finish destroying the US economy. There is no rational obligation to social suicide over mere economic ideals. Ideals have no place in business because business is war.

One thing I must admire about Bejing, if you sufficiently undermine their society they unapologetically kill you, a practice the US should adopt with its own social saboteurs instead of worshipping kleptocracy.

Asbestos siding works fine unless it's made friable by demolition. Ditto abundant asbestos plumbing etc insulation in old structures.

The world has plenty of other sources of scrap copper.

I should have added "Even allowing it via compliant systems invites Bubba to do it his way".

Evidently this was not thought through.

Backpowering service panels by connecting external power via household outlets can and has killed and injured linemen.

"Suicide cords" were originally DIY items used by idiots to power home circuits without a proper transfer switch.

Copyright is a gift by government which may become too troublesome to be worth the expense. Copyright expires
(despite Disney and their puppet Sonny Bono who lived far too long considering the damage he did) after all, and could expire much sooner than later. It's an annoyance.

If artists want money they can emulate the Grateful Dead who generated a fanatically loyal following (that long outlived the band) by encouraging taping, even off their sound boards at concerts.

If the price hurts, just cancel the account. It's a want not a need.

I have no such accounts because I've better uses for money than entertainment subs.
