Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

Will there always be an England?

As per Migration Watch UK, given current trends of net migration of over 600,000 per year, Britain will have a population of over 80 million within 20 years.

But can Britain support this and still be Britain?

Social services, housing, hospitals and healthcare, transport and schools are all increasingly overloaded. And even if unmentionable in polite society, we all know that these levels of immigration are also associated with rising levels of crime.

Fewer and fewer shared values, more that divides us and less that unites us.
Is this what we want?

Yes, there'll always be an England
But which one?

Easter Island B is England.
The blue island shit holes, well deserved bish has terminated classes for talented students.
It didn’t match the district communist's diversity cult as the program was labeled irredeemably racist and needed to be dismantled.
Stupid has overwhelmed the sane stuck behind enemy lines.
It served talent as 13% multiracial, 11.8% Asian, 3.7% Hispanic and 1.6% black.

Tall Poppy Syndrome occurs when people are attacked, resented, disliked, criticized or cut down because they do think.

A 15-Fold Increase In Permitting Costs for input cost to survive so they will live in mud huts since the feds energy cult idiots
have assured structural inflation into the gaining collapse.
Peak imbeciles.

Leave your assumption to what direction it is not.
We will trend oil and reits for facts since no one ever ignored inputs as the consumer is the ruthless arbiter.

Learning to fight is not the point. It’s having the will to fight that’s missing.
When my grandfather went to war it was because he felt he belonged to a country worth fighting for. Along with all the other men of fighting age in his street/town, maybe not willingly, but out of a sense of self pride and duty went to war.

But we don’t feel that way anymore.

We no longer feel like we belong in our own country. We don’t know our neighbours, they don’t look or live like us, and speak a dozen or more different languages.

The sense of cohesion, of community my grandparents enjoyed no longer exists.

I haven't given my take on Boeing except to say that in the early 2000s there was a contingent of engineers within Boeing who believed management was leading the company down the tubes and one in particular who may have used that experience as the seed to start a collapse blog after he retired.

Beyond that, I don't know a great deal about Boeing in particular.

I've mentioned in these pages that somewhere around 1971, give or take a few years, and it would vary from sector to sector with probably the more complex sectors coming first, that the US entered the maintenance phase of a declining civilization. There was a slow recognition and response to that turning point. Boeing would be more complex from an engineering standpoint than the average sector. Like the Boeing engineers said, they're not making washing machines, toasters or clock radios.

More than 40 percent of those with a B.S. degree in engineering work in non-engineering-related jobs. And as many as 25 percent of new graduates consider careers outside engineering. A study led by Sheri Sheppard, associate vice provost for graduate education at Stanford University, cites the “troubling trend” that, over the past two decades, “the highest-performing students and graduates are leaving science and engineering pathways at higher rates” than lower-performing peers.

The underlined sentence is what would be expected when the US is well within the maintenance phase of a declining civilization which, according to the article, has been the case since about 2003, the same year the Boeing engineers wrote the letter posted above. In addition to what's in the underlined sentence, it would also be expected that students with the highest aptitude for engineering won't bother to enter the field because there is nothing in it for them.

So while Boeing engineers may not be making washing machines, toasters, or clock radios, Boeing is also not looking to make the next great leap in aviation, comparable to the 1960s when Boeing introduced the 747, which many consider to be one of mankind's greatest engineering achievements.

Although I know next to nothing about Phil Condit either, my guess is that he was and is no idiot. I do know he rose through the ranks and was not an outsider when Boeing began what appears to me to be a deliberate and justifiable attempt to match the quality of their engineering staff to the fact that the US had already been in the maintenance phase of a declining civilization for many years. The more recent problems Boeing has experienced are likely the result of later management teams taking the path that Condit and others started going down to a silly extreme long after Condit left the company (somewhere around 2005).

A reference to this is buried in a link aeden posted.

FABER: Right. And on the call, you talked about what you believe are still great opportunities, your words, for investors across a number of structural trends. I might expect that those include the likes of, what, AI? What else?

FINK: Well, the combination -- AI cannot truly happen unless there’s a huge investment in infrastructure. The amount of energy that is required for AI or -- is enormous, and the amount of power generation. We will run out of electricity if we are going to fully adapt a full AI world. And so, the need to build on -- this is all going to stimulate our economy, by the way, to build out a more AI and -- which at the backside is that means building out more electricity, power.

FABER: For the datacenters, obviously.

FINK: Datacenters and all that.

FABER: They consume so much electricity.

FINK: And we’re going to have to be building out, you know, tens and tens of giga -- you know, gigawatts. Not like -- not megawatts, gigawatts, and that’s -- we’re talking trillions of dollars of investing. And so, the opportunity is enormous in the coming years, and this is one of the fundamental reasons why I believe the United States is leading this, but let’s be clear. I’m talking to political leaders in other countries, and their desire to build out datacenters, AI, technology at the same time de-carbonization.

Nothing new here except they're admitting it. I suppose now we can look for calls for more engineering graduates to build all this infrastructure that isn't going to be built anyway.

Given the longstanding nature of the decline in per capita energy use in the developed economies against the rise of Asia, I don't think it will be possible to reverse this trend completely and "Make America Great Again." Though I do think it would be possible to at least slow the trend.

What happens if Biden wins?

Survival inputs chains already enabled as we started in 2019 as they slept and more attacked good is bad and bad is good.
Fabric has ripped like the Temple Veil ignored then.

I was told they would lay off 50,000 workers and act like nothing happened yelling at those of us who were left to double the productivity.
The managers only job was to go to meetings to learn how to yell at us to be more efficient. He watched, prepared and learned the
what they worshipped. He left tech as the brain rot increased.
The City is done. Taxpayers are leaving while the locusts take it down.
