Dave JohnsonI see so many of the world's problems where the underlying cause is overpopulation. The planet's resources are stretched WAY beyond capacities.
When I was younger there was a Zero Population Growth (ZPG) movement. I have no idea why that went away.
Wendy (prev Jason) A@dcjohnson because it has the fundamental question of who should reduce their population which leads to racists encouraging ethic cleansing. Also in many developed nations the population has started decreasing. And last I knew the expectation was that the world’s population would start decreasing around 2050.
@norgralin It just doesn't matter, there are too many people on the planet. No one should "reduce" their population they should ALL stop having more than maybe 1 kid.
@dcjohnson That would work if we had rational public discussions but we don’t. That said, we know that urbanization and quality of life improvements decrease birthdates. So basically everything we already want to do on the left helps.
@norgralin Bill Clinton used to say that the best way to stabilize population growth is to educate women.
