🐣 🇰🇷 South Korea declares full-fledged war to combat low birth rate

🔶️ South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol on Wednesday (June 19) declared a “national emergency on population”, rolling out measures to expand cash support for newborn babies and reverse the declining birth rate trend.

🔶️ “The population crisis caused by extremely low birth rates is the foremost and critical issue for South Korea,” he said, adding that the rapid population decline has now become a matter “prompting concerns about the very survival of South Korea”.

🔶️ Additionally, a senior presidential secretary position dedicated to tackling low birth rates is to be created.

🔶️ The government highlighted its policy efforts in three core areas: work-life balance, childcare and housing.

📝 Secular states tend to tackle the symptoms of declining birthrates through failed subsidies, rather than focusing on the root causes:
-High density housing
-Dual-income households
-Lack of belief in the future

🚀 🇨🇳 🛰 The Long March 2C Y50 first-stage booster, for the SVOM mission, fell in Guiding County (贵定县) in the province of Guizhou (贵州) within the designated hazard areas.

🔶️ However, the local government failed to evacuate the surrounding areas properly before launch, the booster hit the ground not long after 3pm local time. Evacuation responsibilities fall on the local governments after state-owned and private companies release information regarding hazard areas.

🔶️ In the footage, the booster appears to fall on a hillside, with no explosion audible. Audio of the booster 'crumpling' can be heard as there is little propellant left. The yellow-ish smoke seen is from a propellant vent that is opened as soon as liftoff. Clean-up teams usually arrive not long after the booster is no longer airborne to isolate it from the public and remove debris, these teams also actively track it as it falls.

🔶️ China is currently part-way through a transition away from using hypergolic fuelled rockets, along with working on reusable rockets that can land themselves which will effectively eliminate this problem long-term. This transition cannot take place overnight as production facilities need to be built, hardware needs to be tested, and reliability needs to be proven in-flight.

🔶️ But why not equip the old boosters with grid-fins? SAST has done this on their legacy Long March rockets, notably the Long March 4C and 2D. However, CALT manufactures the Long March 2C and is not known to do this. CALT's efforts towards reuse are with the Long March 9 and 10.

🔶️ But why continue to launch these rockets over populated areas? Satellites are part of the vital infrastructure of day-to-day life now, with launches of new ones needed constantly. China has three in-land launch sites that were built during the Cold War. Jiuquan and Taiyuan were built in the north to prevent easy attacks on them by the U.S., Xichang was built to enable launches to geostationary orbits while being hard to attack by the U.S. and Soviet Union. These older sites are still used today due to Wenchang not currently being large enough to support the country's launch needs, along with significant investment in and around the sites for launches.

🔶️ The launch site at Wenchang is currently seeing new construction efforts as part of the shift away from the old in-land launch sites. Launch Vehicle production facilities are also being built near the Wenchang launch site to meet China's launch needs.

🔶️ The legacy Long March rockets won't be phased out overnight, but they are effectively at the end of their development. Production of the legacy launch vehicles are also believed to be on the decline in coming years. Launches from the in-land sites will continue as long as they are economically viable, with Wenchang receiving funding to make sure it is the most economically viable launch site in the near future.

🇺🇸 🇲🇽 Welfare offices in 49 states are handing out voter registration applications to illegal aliens. No proof of citizenship required.

🔶️ Every state but Arizona — which recently passed a law barring the practice on state but not federal forms — gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver’s licenses, or in some cases, mail-in ballots voter registration forms without demanding proof of citizenship

🔶️ There is currently no requirement on federal voting forms to provide proof of US citizenship, though it is illegal to falsely claim one is a citizen or for a non-citizen to cast a ballot in a federal election.

📝 🇦🇺 People no longer buy nudes on OnlyFans - a 25-year-old online prostitute said on her TikTok account that she has to live on her last savings because OnlyFans has driven her into poverty.

The girl, like many others of her generation, was inspired by the history of OnlyFans models and their earnings, so she registered an account.

But she was immediately faced with a harsh reality: only some models successfully exploit the possibilities, through overstepping their principles by providing content for perverts.

The rest of the forsaken women are the lowlifes who slog along with the baristas at Starbucks, getting into debt and barely making ends meet, while forever destroying their reputation and self-esteem.

The model herself says that zoomers are especially greedy for Get-Rich-Quick-Schemes- they inspire models, make idols out of them and go to sell nudes that no one buys.
