Labour in the postbellum south was generally very cheap, with no shortage of poor whites doing the exact same jobs as blacks.

All of these countries are much poorer than the US and people who can afford to drive usually prefer that. There's precious few examples of places where driving is a realistic option and it isn't preferred to busses.

My grandparents who remembered those days were very clear that the reason was to prevent blacks and whites from interbreeding. Nobody cared if black and white men mingled, although they usually didn't. Black and white women worked alongside each other regularly. But southern states briefly experimented with segregating their high schools by gender after brown v board. Racial vitriol was strongest for black men mixing with white women.

The desegregated subway was safe for years. Progressives didn't like it, but it was safe despite equal policing.

Waitress is a mostly female job in the US, but they aren't selected for attractiveness.

US schools actually do do a very fine job of teaching, comparisons are just compiled on the basis of comparing scores between poor black kids in the inner cities and the kids of the Japanese elite so the education system can pitch a bigger fit about 'inadequate resources'.

It’s worth noting that twitterati who have crunched thé numbers found, unsurprisingly, that high income men prefer women with high education while having little preference on income.

Probably a little of column a, a little of column b, but schools do seem to push teachers to report cases they aren’t really sure about(I mean, teachers have told me this).

But one third of kids are investigated by CPS- thé bottom 1% of parents are not having 33 kids apiece, just mathematically CPS is investigating not bottom-1% parents. And the same logic holds for 5 or even 10 percent, as well.

You know, if Australia’s not going to have freedom of speech anyways, it actually seems better to crack down on gross fetishism than not.

What definition would you suggest? You have to have some cutoff, the general case of murder isn't a mass shooting.

The risk factors for mass shooting are actually known- biological males from broken homes, with either known mental disorders or Islam. A tailored policy would be unconstitutional, but it is very possible.

Society is pretty chill about most mass shooters being biologically male because biological males form 50% of the population or thereabouts- you can't not be chill about it.

So technically humans are R-selected compared to our close relatives, because we have more kids when their big siblings are still in diapers. A 'natural fertility population' would have a TFR of between seven and ten, high compared to great apes. Of course we're K-selected compared to wolves, which have more similar family structures to people than great apes do.

That doesn't sound Roman. That sounds Greek, particularly Athenian or Macedonian(Sparta preferred foreign bribes over directly extracting tribute).

Uh, most CPS reports are generated by large institutions with expansive reporting policies as a form of ass-covering, particularly schools and hospitals. Not neighborhood busybodies.

Homeschooling families can get away with a lot more because almost all stupid, frivolous, or borderline CPS reports are made by large institutions, particularly schools.

This ignores a confounding variable- the overwhelming majority of CPS reports come from state mandated reporters(mostly teachers), and there's probably cycles in how sensitive those state mandated reporters are. An increasing reportage percent in the early two thousands has an obvious explanation- with the Catholic Church and BSA sex abuse scandals in the news, reporting requirements got stricter and continuing ed for those reporters got more intense. That probably explains the increase in 2000's investigation rates by itself.
Answering your questions-
-
I see preteen children out and about by themselves, on bicycles or walking, pretty regularly in the summer, usually traveling in groups. I see kids playing in front yards a lot too.
-
I was allowed to walk to the library or the convenience store at an early age, perhaps ten is fair. I didn't get sent to the grocery store until I could drive, possibly for cargo-related reasons, but I did get sent into the grocery store while my mom sat on her phone in the parking lot.

Today twenty year olds are not allowed to date 15 year olds(17 year olds sûre, that happens).

It's very common for older kids. Either homeschool for most things with some classes(either online, or community college, or...) taken on the side, or a dedicated hybrid program(readily available but often requires a religious test).

Children do not stay children forever, and 18 years is a legal fiction. Kids grow up, and develop, fast. The baby stage is going to be over soon(toddlers and infants are very different). And little kids are different from toddlers- and in turn, older kids are different from little kids.

IIRC American Orthodox Jews have some awareness that their gravy train isn't unlimited and are (slowly)adapting to needing to compete in a modern society.

Whatever things you might have enjoyed in life before them is completely gone, for the rest of your life. Every waking moment of your life outside of work will be completely occupied by taking care of monstrous creatures that make every single bodily function besides breathing as difficult as humanly possible.

Pink was for boys and blue was for girls as recently as the victorians.
IIRC the most common job for the wives of high earning men, like for women from wealthy families generally, is 'k-12 teacher', narrowly beating out 'homemaker'.
