    It’s ok folks! A 69 hour work week & a new high speed train line will solve the problem. That way the woman can stay home & make babies while the man works his ass off for the conservative old Uber capitalist fucks in charge.

    Hyper conservative capitalism in action folks. You love to see it.

    The problem with endless growth is eventually you run out of other people’s labour

    Yeah but we need this long term. I get it, current economies are fueled by endless growth, raise your hand if you think that’ll keep working for the next 100, 300, 500 years!

    The reality is that we probably need to reduce the global population by a few billion and then sustain that number and scrap our entire economic system in favor of one that prioritizes sustainability. Better now than in 100 years when there’s no food or water left.

      Human population should probably reduce to about 10% of what it currently is. Basically, as a species, people need to get over the arrogance of needing to propagate THEIR genetic lines, as if that’s somehow important. It’s unsustainable.

        Human population should probably reduce to about 10% of what it currently is.

        So you’re saying 90% of the human race should die? And here I thought the IDF was genocidal!

        Will you be the one to be deciding who can and cannot have kids then? Will sterilizations be optional? Or will they be mandatory for undesirables only? Every study ahows that simply providing decent food and home security results in decreased in birth rates.

          If you’ll re-read my comment, you’ll notice that I put the onus on people as a whole and not some group that would make the decisions.
