6.67 million workers to leave #Taiwan workforce in two waves | Taiwan News | Sep. 15, 2025 13:15 taiwannews.com.tw/news/6200364
As baby boomers born in the late 1950s and early 1960s reach 65, Taiwan is experiencing the largest wave of retirements in its history, per Liberty Times. Sixteen years later, a second wave will hit as those born in the late 1970s and early 1980s retire.
Ministry of Labor data shows that in the past five graduating classes, around 196,000 college graduates were not enrolled, employed, or in military service. Many are believed to be staying home or rejecting overwork and doing the bare minimum.
In August, Taiwan's population dropped for the 20th consecutive month to 23,328,343. This was a decline of 78,265 from the same time last year, and a decrease of 9,593 from July.

Ban Elon #Musk from the #UK
Elon Musk told a crowd of approximately 110,000 people gathered at the #FarRight โUnite The Kingdomโ rally that โviolence is going to come to you, you will have no choice. Youโre in a fundamental situation here. Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die, thatโs the truth, I think.โ
This, coupled with his exhortations to dissolve the government and his description of the extremely broad category of โthe leftโ as the โparty of #murderโ, will be seen by some as #incitement to #violence and by others as endorsement of violence.
The Home Secretary has it within her powers to bar people from the UK who she believes are not conducive to the wellbeing of the people of #Britain.
Musk must now be seen as firmly within that category.

kolektiva.social/@DoomsdaysCW/โฆ DoomsdaysCW@kolektiva.social - When Universities Become Informants
A practice from the #McCarthy era makes an ugly return.
By Judith Butler September 13, 2025
"On September 4, I received an email from the #UniversityOfCalifornia at #Berkeleyโs chief legal counsel, David Robinson, informing me that my name has been handed over to the #Trump administration in a file containing allegations of antisemitism. A few days later, I discovered that the university had sent a list of 160 names to the Department of Educationโs Office for Civil Rights. The list includes the names of students, staff, and faculty who may well suffer serious consequences, including the loss of jobs, expulsion, #deportation, or harassment. This was a shock for many of us who believed that Berkeley is a university where one can expect support for freedom of expression and guarantees of fair procedure.
"Antisemitism must be unequivocally opposed along with every other form of racism, but there are campus protocols for investigating such allegations that ensure fairness and which, in this instance, were suspended by the administration. Moreover, it is important to consider which definition of antisemitism is at work. The International Holocaust Remembrance Allianceโs definition of antisemitism, which the Trump administration accepts, is overbroad, often equating criticism of Israel with antisemitism. It acts as a cudgel against freedom of expression and dissent."

I guess they're in the way of capitalism's mission to destroy us all.
