    Anecdotal I know, but I've known at least 4 people/couples in my life to get a divorce and it had absolutely nothing to do with this. It was entirely due to them being incompatible, not a good couple, immature people who got into it too early and ended it because they were mutually unhappy.

    OT: 1000% agree that the argument they're using is complete nonsense.
    I'm divorced, and it wasn't because my wife wasn't subservient enough.

    My point wasn't that you only see divorce for that reason, it's that people who complain that divorce rates are "a bad thing" at all, that's the root of their position; that women should not have the capacity to leave abusive men.

    I'm totally supportive of divorce, precisely because I know how many good reasons there are for it (having lived through the ordeal, myself).

    You realize that even if parents divorce after having kids, they usually still leave their assets to their children, right? Divorced parents wealth doesn't like, suddenly disappear and not get passed down, and there's not a lick of data I've seen to suggest such a nonsense notion.
    people who divorce usually re-marry - diluting the wealth accumulated by themselves and previous generations instead acummulating.

    No.

    1) The accumulation of wealth over generations has been a phenomenon almost entirely restricted to the rich since wealth has has historically meant land.
    2) The existence of intergenerational poverty prior to the divorce rate climbing.
    3) The increase in the divorce rate seems to be plateauing as people get married later in life and build more stable marriages as a result.
    4) Your nonsense about "inherited wealth being diluted" also doesn't jive with the fact the birth rate has been declining.

    You're making shit up.

    Right back at you, Mr "I'll never leave my socialist protective country."
    Which is probably just as well. If you lived here for a few years...without your family's help, you'd run back home at the first opportunity.

    You're not speaking about facts. You're pushing abject nonsense. The Western world is not collapsing. Parts of the East are catching up, but that's how developing countries become developed countries; they aren't surpassing anyone.

    This cannot "dilute wealth". Mathematically, it can't, because you're pointing to multiple relationships in one generation aand pretending that will reduce wealth passed down toto the next generation.

    You should be looking at birth rates, because splitting inheritances more ways would actually produce what you claim, if inheritances were.all that mattered. But that data contradicts your theory directly, as most developed nations have sub-replacement birth rates.

    Good. Hopefully, every place that posted this collapses on their broken kneecaps. If you can barely afford to keep the doors open, maybe look within.

    I don't think anyone is losing their jobs, they are quitting because people treated them like shit, like dumbasses not wanting to be forced to wear masks, or they were quitting like my friend did because of dangerous work conditions because of dumbasses not wanting to wear masks. And if businesses are closing because people are tired of being treated like shit, and getting shit wages, maybe they should pay more.
