This situation has nothing to do with politics and gender and has everything to do with:
Poor planning
Poor engineering
@Stevensr123 I completely disagree. It is the result of VERY careful planning that goes back decades. It started with communists/American leftists back in the 1920's,and when Communism died,the globalists moved in and took over. No real change in management style,but the serfs may live a little more comfortably under them if they toe the line.
The goal is Worldwide Government,Inc,and each continent will have different corporate boards running it. For example,Canada,The US,and Mexico will probably be fused together and known by a title like "The North American Economic Zone". They,and every other board will report to the WWG board,which will probably be somewhere in Europe like Geneva. Paper and coin money will disappear,and "digital money" will only be allowed to be used in the zone where the account originated unless you are management. Piss off management,and your digital bank account will be deleted by the push of a button,and you instantly become penniless and homeless.
You will live in housing the corporation assigns you to live in,and you will work where you are assigned to work. If you cause trouble,you will be kicked off the team and in some places executed,and in others left to roam free with no resources until you die of injury,exposure,starvation,or illness.
The post-industrial world will need a LOT fewer workers,so population numbers WILL be reduced. If you are permitted to marry,you must also get a permit to have a child. No permit pregnancies will result in forced abortion and sterilization. You MUST do your duty to the corporation and the planet by reducing the number of people that need resources and create pollution.
