The USA of 1945 was a very different place from the USA of 2025.

In 1945, the USA was run by competent, rational actors who understood what needed to be done to prevent another world war and to prevent Europe and Japan to descending into chaos, and were willing to spend the money necessary to do that.

In 2025, the USA is run by incompetent fascists... whose only saving grace is indeed their incompetence, or else the fascist takeover of the USA would be a lot further along.

Even if the transport protocol is secure, you have no assurance that the data hasn't been modified on the server. Which is why if you care, you should verify the cryptographic signature of whatever you download---it is signed, right? And you should also sign anything important that you upload.

For downloads, you also need to ponder how much you can trust the signing key.

It's not just "Westernized" countries, whatever that means. Birth rates are down everywhere, even in countries with traditionally high birth rates.

Examples: Kenya had 7.65 live births per woman in 1960 and is now at 3.26. India went from 5.92 to 1.99. Lebanon 5.88 to 2.26. Saudi Arabia 7.63 to 2.28.

There are no incentives in the world that can meaningfully change those numbers. We just have to adapt to a new reality.
