    We need less and less people. I cant remember the book, but i remember reading something a scientist said about the only way to save the planet, and stop the extinction of all animals is to reduce the global pop to 10k ppl.

      I think the planet can manage more than 10k 😁 but it definately doesn't need more billions. Quality rather than quantity 😉

    We've been below the replacement birth rate of 2.1 since 1974.

      Contraceptive pill and abortion came in not long before a collapse in birth rates. Making sex consequence free has NOT liberated women

      And yet nobody realised we need people to serve coffee in Pret, pick our fruit, clean our toilets or staff our NHS. How short sighted.

    😂😂😂Old people die, everyone ages. 'too few babies' on this MC is askew.
    Ignorant parents have too many babies.
