Readit NewsHaving kids is one of those things. For example, in the US a woman who is considered religious based on frequency of services attendance has on average almost one child more than a woman considered nonreligious. ([0] presents one such chart for the United States.)
Except for Buddhism. For some reason, Buddhist women have lower fertility than even atheists [1] I find this surprising and don't really understand the reason.
So anyways, Korea seems to be doubly affected - it has one of the world's highest rates of non religiosity [2], and out of those few who are religious, most are Buddhist.
It seems like if you want to encourage population growth in your country, you want to encourage adherence to an Abrahamic religion or Hinduism.

I felt I can provide data here, FBA is not the end of the road, there are more levels so to say, FBA and prime etc.
Now, FBA has some potential pitfalls.
- VAT, Amazon will often store in a country where its most economical for them, ie, for German sellers, there will be a warehouse just after the Polish border etc. They will do this unless you explicitly disable this. This leads to very complicated VAT fillings and correction
- Lost, stolen, damaged cargo. If your merchandise gets damaged or stolen etc, its not so easy to get new storage space allocated/assigned.
- Recalls, if your ASIN is subject to a recall, god help you, if you use amazon, you will have penalty points on the account health page, affecting many other things. All and and FBA ASINs affected , whether youre selling it or someone else need to be removed. The recall is only finished after that. And youre paying for the storage or recovery or disposal.
- Shipping confirmation. You are supposed to inform about any package and order status very soon after the order is placed. Same for tracking status. Now, sometimes the Amazon api for that is buggy and you get heavy markdowns on account health even though you provide the data, just the feed dont work.
Still, when its all said and done, Amazon offers the best product and logistics if you just want to sell your product.
There is no way any competitor can offer the same quality at a better price.
Keep in mind, whatever the percentage is, the ecommerce business has a margin in the single digits, all of Amazon is subsidised by the money making machine AWS.
Lots of things are dangerous even at concentrations measured in PPM. For example, the level of Phosgene that’s “immediately dangerous to life” is 2 ppm: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/idlh/75445.html.
Maybe the point is that this 20 ppm quickly turns into less based on further dilution. But there’s a lot of analysis required to support the post’s assertions that the author just skips over.
FD, I dont watch him anymore as he is becoming increasingly less interesting.
Never.
Having a business in the capitalist system is about maximising profits.
Musk spent ~$44bn USD or so to buy Twitter (and tried to back out of the deal too). Do you really think Twitter is gonna fairly compensate any of the users any time soon?
You’d be better off migrating to Mastodon. Maybe some instance in that ecosystem will figure out how to use crypto for good, and to compensate its content creators.
Yes, if it makes business sense to do so. Like it does for content creatos.
