My point is that overpopulation is *not* a problem that exists in real terms. It only exists in the minds of those that 'have', and do not wish to see a portion of what they have dwindle.
There is *no* overpopulation 'timebomb', there is only the greed of wealthy countries who wish to be richer, not poorer.
I don't understand your point tbh...you agree in reality it's an economics based 'problem' as opposed to a resource based problem (which it is always touted as being..water, energy, food, housing etc.) yet you seem to maintain overpopulation is a problem.
The only problem, is one of lack of will to spend money to employ simple measures that will ensure many more people, if one can call having to spend a % of your wealth in order to build a fair and just human existence 'a problem'.
I *always* put people before money, i guess i must be weird, most people seem to be the opposite these days and favour personal greed over empathy and compassion for our fellows.
The capacity of our habitat if managed properly and fairly, is more than adequate, many times over in fact, people get poorer, because of the greedy, selfish 'few' at the top of the ladder, not due to lack of resources.

Well, there seems to be a lot of talk on the NWO or the Elites wanting to depopulate the Earth.
Even Bill gates the Microsoft Idiot said we need some form of "population control".

Simply let all the people who want depopulation be first in the "Insert Death Machine", then when all those people are gone, shut the door
“If we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services (abortion), we could lower that (global population in the future) by perhaps 10 or 15 per cent.”

I have stopped reading right there. Calling Bill Gates an idiot doesnt make you very credible. Gates has achieved 10x more that you will ever dream.

good said, I agree that people who want depopulization should be the ones to be "depopulized"
They should rather work on how to make space-colonization a reality, or just inroduce some kind of rule regarding how much biological sons\daughter a person can have.
We are running out of space, but killing people is certanly not an option.
