Suffering and death are the only guarantees on this mortal coil.
Lots of good in between, but still.
A faultering population can be a factor in societal collapse depending on the manpower required to run the society’s infrastructure.
What happens when there’s not enough people to man the power station that runs the car plants that pays the workers to allow them to go buy a cup of coffee? It’s all interconnected.
Men are also valued for their looks. That guy that got a modeling deal right out of prison because women were swooning over him comes to mind.

People in the military are less likely to disobey corrupt orders as long as they come from the correct chain of command.
Power comes from a politically consolidated military. The larger the military the greater the reigns of power become.
That’d be one incentive for the people in power to force citizens into the military.
Whoops meant to say helped give us the telephone
Specifically was talking about this
"It was Alexander Graham Bell who patented the telephone in 1876. But Edison, with his knack for building upon others’ innovations, found a way to improve Bell’s transmitter, which was limited in how far apart phones could be by weak electrical current. Edison got the idea of using a battery to provide current on the phone line and to control its strength by using carbon to vary the resistance.
To do that, he designed a transmitter in which a small piece of lampblack (a black carbon made from soot) was placed behind the diaphragm. When someone spoke into the phone, the sound waves moved the diaphragm, and the pressure on the lampblack changed. Edison later replaced the lampblack with granules made from coal—a basic design that was used until the 1980s."
He was also a prolific inventor that worked tirelessly to help give us the telephone and the lightbulb.
He’s certainly a controversial man.
Depends on the person and the job. Thomas Edison loved his work to the point of being essentially addicted.
This is what I worry about. What if I get everything I ever wanted and it’s still not enough? What is the point then?
30% of Americans genuinely do not have a basic understanding of civics, or the world around them.

Germany’s known for poor rail, America’s known for no rail.
His perspective on the world went too deeply against mine. I couldn’t take the hypocrisy anymore.
Germany’s known for having terrible rail. Probably on account of BMW lobbying.
Stalin was a power freak. Only reason he “tried to resign” is because Lenin released a statement criticizing him before he died. It’s kind of like saying Matt Gaetz tried to resign in good faith.
“Love and worship me or you’ll be sent to hell for all eternity hehe”
Had to drop a friend when he told me that “God sent Trump to us to stop abortions”
That’s because the American healthcare system is infected with middle men parasites.
I figure a scale would probably work better.
