Yeah, and the DOW JONES will hit 150,000 according to current projections. Idk where you are getting these projections, but they seem to make the foolish mistake of assuming conditions will stay the same and growth will remain linear.

Richland Parish has lost 25% of its population since 1960...that would seem to be the ideal place to resettle refugees, and immigrants

Have you ever traveled out west?

The world has nearly reached its carrying capacity hundreds of times. 20 years ago we couldn't have sustained as many people as we have now. But technology continues to improve so that we can sustain our growing population

And by the time you can't find 30 miles of open country, it's all over.

It's not the number of people that's the problem its the quality of them.

Africa can't grow without the rest of the world sending them food or ruling over them, Rhodesia being a prime example. A lot of them will starve to death since they can't figure out farming.

Idk where you are getting these projections, but they seem to make the foolish mistake of assuming conditions will stay the same and growth will remain linear.
One thing past projections haven't accounted for is the growth in population in Europe as the overflow from Africa continues its northward course.
But you're correct, eventually all this growth will hit a Malthusian wall and billions will die in short order. Not exactly something I'm looking forward to experiencing, should I live that long.

You are 100% right on this. Most people don't want to believe it, but the smart ones know it's true - even if they just try to ignore it.
