Yes?

" "There was a growing resentment that some rich people did not pay or take part in the funding of the welfare state as they should," said Bernt Aardal, an election researcher and professor at the University of Oslo. "

How dumb are you?

It's called urbanization. And it needs more energy, more water, more resources, more jobs, more excesses.

If you really want a view of what Earth considered a balanced population. Look no further than to the dawn of our industrial revolution. The rest, people like that, becomes what I call 'living in a scifi'.  Trusting in our industrial farming practices, the conveyor belt principle,  'new tech', gene editing, etc etc.

When it comes to time lines then the less kids the better, but it is your own choice. And lifting up our modern 'relatively defined rich' societies as some f*ng example of our species changing their ways, instincts etc, is just dumb. There's a lot more pressures on people in those of kind of societies, and less time for kids.

I think it must have been an American writing, because the only way she thought it would matter would be with an all out war, probably nuclear. And they do like their bombs, don't they?

And sorry. an all out war, nuclear or conventional, today, would be a catastrophe and the start of an extinction event.


It's called global warming.
