What's something that 15 years ago looked like it would be a problem in the future, but didn't turn out to be?
Replying to @SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml
1. Obesity pandemic
Ever since Ozempic came on the market, it seems like we’re slowly getting a handle on it.
2. Overpopulation in Africa/Asia
Automation is causing them to stop having children as more jobs require higher education and there’s less jobs around altogether.
3. Poverty in Africa/Asia
Related to overpopulation. China has lifted itself up completely.
India is also doing better every year.
Famines in African nations have severely been reduced these days and all of them are now war related.
[edit]
I’m getting some downvotes.
Is anything wrong here?
Replying to @folaht@lemmy.ml
to me those 3 all seems like valid problems still.
obesity may be solved in a few decades but is still ongoing.
overpopulation in india etc is still a big issue combined with poverty…
a large part of china(mainland) is still suffering in great poverty. places like shanghai/beijing are a very small minority number wise.
