SapphironZA@lemmings.worldto News@lemmy.world•Finnish carrier Finnair is asking passengers to voluntarily weigh themselves before boarding flights2·1 year agoThis is similar to the seat size problem.
Maybe standard seats should be bigger (and cost more) , with some option for smaller seats
You can then invite people to get on a scale to see if they qualify for a cheaper seat.

SapphironZA@lemmings.worldto News@lemmy.world•Philadelphia measles outbreak has hospitals on alert after child was sent to day care despite quarantine instructions131·2 years agoIt’s also very important to vote carefully before deciding to have a baby.

SapphironZA@lemmings.worldtoWorld News@lemmit.online•Japan's 18-year-olds at record-low 1.06 mil on falling births1·2 years agoThe reason housing is not solving itself, is that investment firms are buying and controlling all the stock and controlling the pricing. This is also why rents are so high.

When my parents were young, they could afford a 4 bedroom home, two kids and our education on the single income of a teacher with my mother being a stay at home mom. The problem is that salaries have not kept up with inflation in the last 50 years.
Raising kids costs time as well as money. You cannot have time to have kids if both parents need to work full time.
