When do you think the student loan bubble will burst? And why are more people not talking about it?
A recent study I read said that the Earth's population will reach 9-10 billion before falling, even at the current lower rate of reproduction in first world countries. Why do people continue having children in these countries when there are already so many unloved and unwanted in our failure of a foster system? (Obviously I'm in the US, and YMMV.)
Will the world economy continue to struggle? What do you think can get us all on the right track?
After the housing loan bubble burst, housing prices dropped a little bit. Or at least apartment complexes decided not to raise rent that year. But as soon as the economy started showing just a tad of recovery, rent went up. And up, and continues to go up. Meanwhile, no one I know has gotten a raise, gas prices are shit, we pay more and more for all kinds of items and experiences... why does this happen? What can we do about it?
In keeping with these questions, (although number two is a bit of an outlier), I kept seeing in newspaper letters to the editor sections that "this whole socialism experiment failed." How do you feel about that?
