Oh yeah it'd be a tight squeeze and I'm pretty sure that configuration gets rid of the trunk space. Cute city car though!

NYC (and presumably Chicago - I haven't been) are the best, that's true. I've also been to Philadelphia and Boston and both had good train systems. I currently live in a medium-sized city that is 90% bus transit, and that can suffice even though it's not great. It's an exaggeration to say NYC and Chicago are the only places you can go without a car.

The president of FIDE was a former Deputy Prime Minister of Russia. NATO has a lot of power, but to say they control FIDE is ridiculous.

"Discussion" about this is just transphobic concern trolling, so it's not necessary.

No one's been able to reverse it so far, not even the countries that have increased child support. Personally, I think if we go all-in on restructuring our economy to support child-rearing then it will reverse, but I think it's too radical and expensive for countries to consider.

That's called infertility, and it's a separate issue. Fertility rate refers to children per woman, and this is decreasing globally to unsustainable levels. There is a phenomenon known as the "demographic transition" that refers to the demographic shift of pre-industrial high births and high mortality, to high births and low mortality due to modern science, to finally low births and low mortality. The only successful policy to reverse baked-in population decline so far has been to accept large numbers of immigrants. Obviously this can't be universally applied because those immigrants have to come from somewhere.

That's not how representative democracies work. There's no way for a commoner to vote on it.
