      Tell that to Africans, and to a few South American countries, they are the only ones who are not crashing and have a viable replacement rate above 2.1… and then some.

      If you were really concerned about over population that is what one would do, but no one here would have the guts for ideological reasons or for fear of being even remotely perceived as possibly a racist. Despite objective statistics. /s

        This is depressing but let’s bring your map into context.

          Now it’s even more depressing because that means humans have been using children as a tool to create social security, knowing full well that most of them will suffer and die at an early age.

          It’s a pyramid scheme played with (literally) innocent people at the expense of an insane amount of suffering and death.

      No your kids will get anthrax and all the viruses that are now stuck in the permafrost and will revive once they are thawed.

    It’s gonna be awesome when we’re old and need end of life care and the younger generations are too poor to help us and too stupid to help us even if they weren’t poor.

    We’re headed into a very, very stupid and depressing future. And it’s 100% avoidable.

      *was avoidable, by taking steps 25-40 years ago. Boomers took us right over the edge of any cliff they could find, again and again.

      What we’ve got now is peanuts compared to what kind of future we’re looking towards.
