Divorce rates relate new marriages and divorces. In Portugal divorces have increased but even more importantly, new marriages have dropped a lot. That is the cause of the high divorce rate.
As to why people get divorce I’d venture a guess of economic reasons. Portuguese are quite poor, particularly in the European context, and life has gotten even harsher this last decade. That breaks a lot of people.
Natality rates are also low. Fewer babies, fewer reasons to stick together.
Still, as I said, there’s no reason to be cynical about monogamy, love and marriage. Many people make it work very well.
Just because you don’t see it around you doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I’m from Portugal which has even higher divorce rates, and yet 90% of couples I know got together and stayed together and have absolutely stable family lives. The idea that it cannot be done(unless it’s done with no effort) is the main reason most couples fail to do it.
The more incentives these companies create with their annoyances to the users the easier it is for alternatives to pop up.
Few things seem to insult modern sensibilities more than a loving wife.
Well, it is true. Most people don’t want to work. I certainly wouldn’t if I could help it.
A good system to level off achievement and remove all the incentives to be productive.
A little bit of inflation is a fuel for economic activity. If money doesn’t lose value people have less incentive to put it to work; if it gains value(deflation) people have all the incentive to hoard money.
Currency has no inherent value, it’s purpose is to facilitate trades(economic activity). Products and services are the real value in an economy.
That being said inflation is a real tax and disproportionately hurts the poor.
Best way to go extinct is much the same.
If the person has a disability and the chip somehow improves the condition, then, under extremely tight legislation, yes. Otherwise, no.
