A couple of things, from this latino.
The "ploy" about creating some violence and then blaming it on the opposition is as old as Cuba claiming that everything that happened there was a plan by the USA. In Venezuela, everything that happens is blamed on the opposition, which is basically powerless. The idea of the "infiltrator" is very well done here in S. America; it was used even by the Colombian Govt during the 2022 protests. So, Mr. Scott-Railtorn has to become more fluent on how things get done here.
Second. The reason why this was planned in Florida is simply because every person in L. America that has any means wants to and does live in Miami. It has nothing to do with Fl. currently being a GOP stronghold. All the people plotting to bring down the Vennie regime, for example, live in or near Miami. Most likely, Weston. It can be that this is indeed coincidental, for what I just said.

Other than that. Sure, the Bolsonaristas only need red hats with MBGA stamped on them.

We were talking about world population in the tennis topic. Let's get it out of there.
Here is a related news:
India is about to pass China as the world's most populous country

To me, one interesting info: India's population is actually young: almost 50% of the people are below 25, while in China, it is "only" 25%. As Suliso pointed, China's population will start crashing soon (in historical terms, I don't mean Tuesday) whole India will still have some momentum.

But wait!
Germany voted to get rid of ALL ITS NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS! And now, they don't want the coal plants needed to replace that capacity? Solar and wind won't cut it, and Germany has no gas to speak of.
You have to think these things through.

Ponchi's King for a Day dreams: if you DON'T want to be president/PM, you MUST remain president/PM.
Shows she was not driven by power.

There was a discussion here about population and I apologize because I don't remember where the discussion was taking place. This fits right in with what was being discussed.

Japan would need to change culturally and I have a hard time seeing it.

"If birth rate does not rise".
Or they become more tolerant of immigrants. Because birth rate will not rise in Japan, unless you outlaw contraception and get them to stop working 26 hours a day.

[Suliso]

Birth rates could rise a bit (to European or American levels), but it would require abandoning the all work male dominated culture. Just paying some money to couples who already want children certainly won't do it.
