From the article: "The Malthusian Trap (or “Malthusian Population Trap”) is the idea that higher levels of food production created by more advanced agricultural techniques create higher population levels, which then lead to food shortages because the higher population needs to live on land that would have previously used to grow crops.

"Even as technological advancement would normally lead to per capita income gains, theorizes Malthus, these gains are not achieved because in practice the advancement also creates population growth. Once the population exceeds what food supplies can support, this supposedly creates a Malthusian crisis with widespread famine as well as rampant disease. This ends up decreasing the population to earlier levels."

Fresh vax booster today for COVID and flu. Feeling pretty good, but sore arm as per the usual. Kudos to the pharmacist who performed my double jab. They were smooth and efficient. I barely felt them stab me twice!

Well, according to CDC guidelines, my quarantine was over and I can go out and do stuff.

*Sigh*

It was nice while it lasted.

Disappointing and irresponsible when leaders don't acknowledge that masks help prevent the spread of #COVD

Heads up, folks on the picket lines. Yes, it's hot outside, but please wear a mask (the mask can be its own picket sign w/ message).

New #DataViz by the World Bank #SDG Atlas showing the effects of #COVD on #Education globally.

As expected, higher-income countries fared relatively better, and within country, higher-income households had relatively more continued access via online and other supports.
