The one child policy was horrific. But it's well known that enforcement in rural areas was low, not high. I lived in China for 6 years during the policy and did not know a single family in the city with more than 1 kid. Met many, many rural families with 3+ kids.

The good news is when you send money to people at the exact moment when supply chains are gnarled up, you totally mitigate any inflationary impacts, history has taught us this

Moved to ATX five years ago and found boomtown energy with bright people. Only gotten better since. Long on Austin.

After almost 4 years of living in Austin, it is, in my opinion, the greatest city in the country to live if you work in tech and want to raise a family. Pros * High quality of life * Great public schools in the suburbs * Very family-friendly * Affordable housing (for a major
