Not really. Billionaires don't have a checking account with billions of dollars in it that they stole from their workers. The vast majority of their wealth is locked in non-liquid investment vehicles. If they actually tried to cash those in at once, they'd only get a fraction of that wealth.

The big problem is banks will loan them money based on those non-liquid assets and it's not taxed as income.

We can definitely support the current population sustainably. The issue has never been resource shortage, it's resource distribution.

Well, the main issue is profits, and equitable distribution of resources isn't profitable.

You can build your own in Home assistant using esphome with an esp32 dev board, a linear servo, and a piece of fabric that works on touch screens.

Your anecdotal evidence doesn't mean anything. Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it can't happen.

No, it's just more common than previously thought. It's still a developmental disorder where the brain didn't form normally.

We have seen a massive uptick. That's the whole problem. In 1970 the rate was 1:10,000 and now it's 1:30

But the reason for the massive uptick is because we understand autism better and can diagnose it easier. But idiots don't understand that and assume something must be making more autistic kids than before.

Eh, to be a devil's advocate, people can change. It's within the realm of possibility that he wasn't like that when they were first married.

There are several medical issues like strokes and TBI that can fundamentally alter the way someone thinks. Often the people who are closest are the last to accept the change.
