Good, we have too many people in many parts of the country. With 320 million people a 1.52 birthrate will take decades to make a noticeable differernce.

Maybe we should make our economy not dependent on impossible and unsustainable destructive "growth".

just spent about half an hour writing a long post, but decided it was too much of a rant.
summary:
yes, economic collapse is imminent.
No, you probably won't survive.
No, you can't be mad at people for moving here to have their 9 children and get free money for it. They don't know the implications, and they don't understand why people with jobs don't like them.
yes, we're all doomed because our species is too short sighted to pull together and do what's right.
end note: it's probably too late to stop us from killing ourselves, but if we tear down the mainstream media now we might have a chance to rebuild before we turn our planet into a twisted combination of "beyond thunderdome" and "waterworld"
