It's a correlation not causation. The real cause is high taxes. When you tax people too much, they cannot afford to raise as many children to the standards they expect.
This basically peels your civilization back, tearing off the most intelligent first, and leaves an idiocracy of angry morons.

European government sovereignty not European citizen sovereignty. The goal is only to shift which master is in control, not to free the serfs.
It sounds like a desire to cut off their nose to spite their face: using an incompatible format would limit users -significantly.
Small investors will never be able to coordinate and have a meaningful impact on corporate governance. They will vote for directors from a list that Musk pre-approved. Large institutional investors often insist on appointing a director to represent their interests on the board.
This way ensures that Musk retains full control.
To have a huge part of your infrastructure owned and operated and capable of being remotely disabled by a rather brutal dictatorship?
Good thing there are no brutal dictatorships that have ever threatened to cut off our oil supply!
"If you have nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear" has long been established as a failed argument.
I accept that if the government wants to know something about me, they have the resources to discover it. I do not accept that I should surrender my rights and freedoms to make that easier.
Like all Lefties, you're a fucking retard. It went from $4B to $120BN. That's not inflation, asshole.
If you got rid of the hereditary ruling class I think that you'd see projects getting done and done more or less on time and on budget.
I'd like to direct your attention to my state. California. I'd then like to direct you to our high-speed rail project. Look at what the voters approved ($$) and then look at the current estimated cost.
Then.. look at the state's debt load.
5 decades of a lefty, veto-proof, super-majority. (Republicans have not had legislative power in this state since 1971.) We've had Republican governors.. But the lefties have had the power..
I'm generally not a fan of hereditary systems of government. Sliding out of a particular vagina is hardly a qualification to run a country, But, I can assure you, when any one party has power for too long, they sure start to act like an infallible ruling class and they sure the fuck don't get shit done on time or on budget. This state is a laughing-stock regarding CONSTANT budget overruns on EVERYTHING. They also piss away the money. $3M to put a 2 stall, cinder-block, bathroom in a local park.. THREE MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS. For two shitters, two sinks, and an air-dryer. One block away, a guy is building a 5,000 square foot home for $2M..
Every asshole out there loves to point to our GDP and say "See, Democrats did that".. Maybe.. But if they get to own that, they have to own all the debt, the failing infrastructure, and the piss-poor education system we have.
Keep pointing to Trump and thinking he's the bad guy.. That's what they want you to do.. Point and scream about him and not watch how your party is fucking you in the ass. You're a mouth-breathing retard if you think the Democrats are any more moral.
The Mafia is protected under "cultural heritage" .
Do not comply in advance. Make him pass his uber-law. Then let him try and enforce it.
I saw a post where the guy said "3000 mile trip, would you rather spend 10 minutes getting gas or two hours charging?" And I thought, when was the last time I drove 3000 miles? Nonstop?
That is just fluffernutter's daily commute.
