Maybe I used hyperbolic speech, and maybe there aren't any statistics out there so maybe my claims are invalid because of it, or maybe they're more dismissable because you don't feel like I can make any claims then, but women definitely feel the clock ticking if they haven't had kids when they're approaching 30.


I agree with you that many women who want children feel the biological clock ticking and worry that time is running out for them to become pregnant as they get older.

That anxiety is unique to women, from a late 30s guy with no kids. It may manifest itself differently, but it exists.

It's not the same biological imperative for men. It's just bizarre to me that people try to equate men and women on reproductive urges. The biological wiring is very clearly different.

Yes, but we don’t know where biology ends and cultural pressure begins.

The 200,000th post in this thread was a tweet with a grade 2 understanding of international trade. Nice.

This is a pet peeve of mine, thinking all the thousands of people that have spent their entire lives rigorously studying a certain subject have somehow missed the super easy solution you can come up with in all of 30 minutes of thinking about that subject.

There may be thousands of conferences and journals written by people dedicating their lives to single subjects but they are all wrong, have they even seen this youtuber talking truth in 240p from his basement!?

Reminds me of the Black Mirror episode where the guy rants about the society they're living in, and then he turns it off and he's in a big ass room/home drinking fresh squeezed OJ. Would be a pretty good thing to have going today I would think...

This might as well be the practice of law. People hire a firm to give them advice. Advice is provided. People come up with their own plan that they believe will save them money or time. They are told by the firm not to do that. They go through with the plan and create a raging dumpster fire. They then proceed to blame the law firm. It is the great cycle of touching the stove about once every two years.

I dunno, I’m pleased enough with how it’s going and think Trump is finally doing what he was supposed to have done a year ago.

Billionaire investor and longtime Trump confidant Carl Icahn dumped $31.3 million of stock in a company heavily dependent on steel last week, just days before Trump announced plans to impose steep tariffs on steel imports.

In a little-noticed SEC filing submitted on February 22, 2018, Icahn disclosed that he systematically sold off nearly 1 million shares of Manitowoc Company Inc. Manitowoc is a “is a leading global manufacturer of cranes and lifting solutions” and, therefore, heavily dependent on steel to make its products.

The filing came just seven days before a White House event where Trump announced his intention of imposing a 25 percent tariff on steel imports.

Trump’s announcement rattled the markets, with steel-dependent stocks hardest hit. Manitowoc stock plunged, losing about 6 percent of its value. Reuters attributed the drop to the fact that Manitowoc is a “major consumer of steel.” As of 10:20 a.m. Friday, the stock had lost an additional 6 percent, trading at $26.21.

Icahn was required to make the disclosure because of the large volume of his sale. The filing reveals that he began systematically selling the stock on February 12, when he was able to sell the stock for $32 to $34.
