Antique is probably the best way to go if you want a diamond that even approaches affordability and isn’t part of the modern blood diamond trade. I gave my wife my grandmother’s ring, so I didn’t have to buy one at all, but most people don’t have that sort of luck.
Just glancing quickly, eBay looks like it has some pretty decent deals on those.
I think China, which is very overpopulated, would really need some population shrinkage. It’s getting tiresome seeing articles whining about being “bad” for the “economy”.
The whole world probably has too many people, it’s just that the decline should be at a bearable rate (not too slow, not to fast) and occur at appropriate rates per area (some areas may be more overpopulated than others). And I ~dont give a care about the economy, we have means of aleviating the issues of decreased workforce by using robots, reducing unecessary jobs to save resources (like the whole ad industry?), but we live in such a capitalistic society that you ~have to step on others to survive and waste resources just to make money… Maybe this “economy” should be scrapped eventually.
PS. Lol, “oh no, the diamond sells are dropping, pump up more humans!” Pathetic…
