For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Yeah, this amazes me everywhere. The Chinese government also wants people to have more children.
But children are fucking EXPENSIVE. Having just one child, once only school fees are taken into account, is so expensive that most families see a significant drop in their lifestyle from having one. This doesn't include food, clothing, medical care, etc. Just school fees take middle class people and make them live unskilled labour lifestyles. (You can imagine what it does to unskilled labour...)
If the Chinese government wants people to have more children, they're going to have to address that somehow. Like free schooling. Free healthcare. Maybe also fix the education system so that there's not this perceived need for thousands of hours of expensive cram schools. That kind of thing.
And then we have the Big Brains of Business sounding the same alarm. All while they do everything in their power to make people poorer and poorer so that even in the west people simply can't afford to have children. But they want people to have more children.
This is literally insane to me.
People with money and social status (white people), get to fucking. The rest of you, here's the no pussy I got.
