    If that was a stock chart, we would call it a bubble. There is nothing wrong with bubbles being busted / corrected.

    Humans have well figured out the art of killing. We can expect this will not end.

    Media tends to act as though a decline in population to levels of just 40-50 years ago would represent a world-historic catastrophe, which must be averted by importing the incremental two billion Africans who will be born by 2100…

  4. indeed. The India and Indonesia numbers appear to be a prediction. And the reasoning behind the prediction is probably that Fauci has placed "gain of Function labs" in both of these countries and if they don't follow proper western orders...there will be leaks.

    Exactly. Technology enabled the human population grow out of control, it will also be the answer to declining to more normal levels. I'm always shocked when there's talk about some animal species, population is some 5,000 and it's considered a healthy level.
    Unlike China, these African and South Asian countries (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh) refuse to implement any population control measures. And somehow now these "poor people" are the responsibility of everyone else who acted responsibly.

  7. We always know its election season when VicBee becomes active again posting. He was never a trader. Probably not really an investor either. Just a Political Narrator. And his narration getting more desperate and sensational. Like a Daily Sun headline.

    You have to keep your talking points out there in very subtle ways so your people don't start becoming knowledgeable about what's really going on.

    In the 70's there were only 40-50 years of "proven fossil fuel reserves" in the world. Today there's closer to 100 years of proven reserves - 50 years later. We should have run out by now.

    In the 1950s with a few billion people worldwide, about 50% of the world was "food insecure". Using that same definition today with nearly 8 billion people on the planet, the number is around 5%.

    When you can't get a new boogeyman to scare people, sometimes dressing up the old ones can get you a few more votes.

    Extending retirement age is not necessarily due to shortage of labor. It could be government do not have the money to pay pension.
