About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

In other news, birth rates are inexplicably plummeting across the globe. Governments remain baffled.
The cause is obviously biological. Not societal. Listen to my anecdotal or correlational evidence.
And strangely, people aren't spending as much money at the same time... Better jack up prices on everything to compensate!
China reversed its one-child policy and people there are having even fewer kids.
Latin America isn't at the replacement rate of 2 children per couple any more. You know, the continent with all those Catholics? They aren't having kids.
Only Africa now is above the replacement rate. Likely not for long.
Human population will peak way sooner than expected.
What will Western billionaires do when the flow of poor brown people stops? They're dependent on them for cheap labour and to deflect blame onto.
They will bring back the slave trade. This time using latinos.
Edit: I'm not even remotely joking or being facetious.
But why though? They will have robots by that time. The end game is just a small group of wealthy people living in a climate-isolated environment surrounded by a sea of automatons.
Robots cost a lot of money to make and can't look up in awe at your astounding wealth.
And you can't be cruel to robots.
Sure you can. The but robots would not have any issue with that. And the cruelty is the point. Slave owners in the South didn't simply own slaves because it was economically a great system. By most accounts slave ownership the way it was done in America was far more costly than just hiring people at slave wages (which is still pretty bad but when splitting hairs...)
No, they owned slaves because lording it over a person you can definitively (in your own mind) label as inferior makes you feel good.
"I bet it's because there's not enough spying in their homes."
clearly the government just needs to provide pizza parties
If I saw any real positive progress being made I'd reverse my decision to not have kids, but they all seem to want to do what's worst for the planet, so why actively bring someone into that?

In the US at least, I think it’s possible at the local and state levels, but land and money have most of the power. To me, it feels like many leaders pushed the goals back because we were relatively close to being able to implement the progressive changes federally, but it’s become clear that’s still a ways away.
Those progressive changes can still happen in blue states, and I feel the will is there to elect progressives. States just need to be willing to go into debt to bring forward those progressive programs now.
Idk, even still after all these years, I find there are still moments that make me happy to be alive and think that it’s awesome to be alive, to have experienced things that were dear to me. Living in a place with others that still care about positive progress gives me a reason to do a little better each day.
I do think about how much greater life could be if love was what guided policy rather than the accumulation of wealth that’s worth nothing to us when we die.
Why can't YOU be my dad? Or, rather not my dad as it were.....I mean you're ALREADY not my dad, but.....
Ugh. This is getting confusing. What I'm trying to say is, I don't want to exist if earth is my only option.
There! Simple enough now?
You want a Schrödinger dad don't ya?
Could it be that housing prices are rising, people are living paycheck-to-paycheck with no job security, and fascism and the threat of a(nother) world war are on the rise?
Naaah, can't be that.
