My life has more and more strange, scary coincidences. Sure, some are part of the all-encompassing confirmation bias, but some are just out there. Maybe in my search for meaning I get too hung up on serendipitous occurrences, or maybe I'm turning into the bimbo cliché of RomComs who thinks that "everything happens for.. increased productivity". And no, it’s not this beach.

One thing about population in Romania that we can all agree on is that it is in free fall. A recent article has revealed to me that, supposedly, the number of Romanians moving out of the city and into the country side is greater than the number of Romanians moving into the city.

Oare cum ajung britanicii sa-si inchida usile imigratiei? Ce pazeste Soros?

Un articol recent publicat de Gheorghe Funar intr-un ziar constantean anunta ca aceasta ar fi ajuns la 140 de miliarde de euro. Datoria externa a unei tari pare sa streseze multi din cetatenii acesteia si in acelasi timp este putin inteleasa. Ne uitam nitel la motivele stress-ului si la cat este de indreptatit.

Ma preocupa soarta transportului romanesc, printre altele si pentru ca daca merg prin Ro am nevoie sa ma plimb prin tara in timp scurt. Din pacate, stirile-s proaste.

A while back, I was having an argument (well, it’s more like I was trying to have a conversation with my designated troll, banned since) about the downside of population decline (PD). He demanded to know why is it bad (which is what I was trying to say) and I thought I provided some studies, but while searching, I was unsatisfied with the quality of the studies I had found. (The title term refers mostly to economy (i.e., population drops below the level required to carry the economy or more specifically old age pensions) whereas PD refers to demographics.) Since then, I’ve found a bit more so here it is.
