*#Rentenpolitik und #Altersarmut am Beispiel #USA*

👉Seit Jahrzehnten ist klar, dass durch die älterwerdende Bevölkerung der vielzitierte "#Generationvertrag" die Finanzierung künftiger #Renten nach derzeitigem Modell unmöglich macht.
Durch die #KI-Revolution wird jedoch ein potentieller Zusammbruch enorm beschleunigt. 👈
Wie so häufig kann man durch einen Blick in die #USA einen Blick in diese düstere Zukunftsvariante werfen.

I know, thx, but that's not what I mean.
I've seen several websites that can auto-detect a language, e. g. GoogleTranslate.
Too many people in the Fediverse are quite unaware that they should a) set their standard language and b) change that setting, if they post in another.
With the improvement I suggested, that could be remedied.

This issue of "nudity" is, increasingly, a problem for adult or even teenage users, in e. g. liberal Western democracies, of #US online services, such as #Pinterest.
Anachronistic #US Puritanism cannot be the global yardstick.
This issue came to my attention in 2023:
