from the ways they currently exist, such as the ways the body grows.
Basically put, it means that all human reproductive functions, fertilization, the child-bearing years and/or menstruation, the production of spermatozoa are moved from early teens to later in life.
The ability for women to produce eggs and for men to produce sperm are both abated until the early thirties, AND that women’s health conditions and physical abilities were sufficient for carrying the babies to full term, giving birth, nursing, and all of the other motherhood-involved activities.
What are some of the possibilities for ways life and society and culture and customs as we know then might differ or would differ?*
*Abstract thinking outside of existing conditions and current limitations are required in order to conceptualize an imaginary scenario like this one. Please see the first word of the post.

Google has banned Parler's app from their store and Apple is threatening to do the same thing if that site does not censor it's users. Facebook and Twitter have banned Walkaway from their sites. (This is a group that encourages people to walk away from the Democratic Party.) Leftist used to claim that they supported free speech. Now we see that they are the ones that are going all in on banning any speech with which they disagree. Welcome to totalitarian rule. less

No problem if it looks like a bribe to buy people off in an effort to stifle the recall, AND if it ignores the fact that over $2 billion in unemployment funds was paid to scammers and convicted felons houses in the state’s prison system

Many prisoners, some on death row or sentenced to life in prison, have received numerous monthly checks. Some family members of those prisoners have received checks in the prisoners’ names.
Not all illegal filings are made by the prisoners themselves, yet scammers are using names and social security numbers of thousands of unknowing people, both inside of prisons and outside of prisons.
It has been estimated that over $2 billion has already been or will eventually be paid out to fraudsters, some of whom are incarcerated and some of whom are not. The computer systems used by the state‘s Employment Development Department (Cal EDD) are just as old or older than those used by the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (Cal DMV).

Or do you think age has nothing to do with it...if you've always been open to anything that sounds good to you regardless of genre, artist, etc. or have never really been that open? (e.g. - I don't like Michael Jackson, The Beatles, country music, whatever, so even if I like the sound of a song I have to hate it because it's Celine Dion, Disturbed, Madonna, rap music, whatever). I like this Justin Bieber song and I'm not ashamed to say it. I know Jaimie is going to be so happy! less

I was looking forward to debates and perhaps some evidence being presented. Hopefully resulting in the returning of electors to states to do a real audit. No one reported as harmed so far. Thankfully.
