Total Population: 31,443,322 Slave Population: 3,953,762 Cancer and heart attacks are the killers today when Disease used to wipe people out. It's why your grand parents had 10 kids.

The USA work force is made up of less then 2% farmers, when in 1900's 80% of the work force was farming. Farming was hard work and risky. https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/farming-industry-facts-us-2019-5-1028242678 https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-us-land-use/ All those jobs are gone to automation and the world is better for it.

Sure climate change is a problem. But it's not a problem. Humans are good at fixing any problem. If we put energy into it. Climate change could be fixed in a snap. The fix is Humans don't die. Humans can nuke the planet till all life is dead, and the earth doesn't give a gently caress about you and will keep on making life till the sun's heat death The aliens will be sad of all the animals that died. The Real fear of climate change is your worthless life being ended by death, or living a miserable life starving and then dying. All the older people don't care. They believe they are dead before dealing with consequences. Pretend they were all dead right now. Would the world still look the same? Less Military would reduce pollution https://qz.com/1655268/us-military-is-a-bigger-polluter-than-140-countries-combined/ If people could reduce the necessity to drive and not buy cheap poo poo, that would also reduce emissions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_contributors_to_greenhouse_gas_emissions Poverty: The 70's had the hugest amount of world poverty, and it's almost gone, but that last couple million people is hard to bring out.

Same people that don't wear masks, vote in Trump and force you to vote in lesser leaders, don't allow for UBI, and exploit workers around the world and millions of other problems. Sure yea I benefit from it, but if you gave me a magic wand to change poo poo to what ever experts say would be the best for the world and humanity, I would wave that wand, and you would too. Many people would, except for those crazy people. But gently caress if I'm ever going to say "the world is getting better." Too many "intellectuals" KNOW the worlds is getting worse for their short term perspective. https://www.gapminder.org/ignorance/ Why We Cling To The Police - Carlos Maza https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0smZ8oYe60 And it is possible for the world to get worse. (Because of Covid the Millennial generation will lose a couple years of their life span) Also when people think something is bad they are more motivated to fix that problem. ~~~~ So don't quote this poo poo. ~~~~ So yeah. The world is poo poo. We're all gonna die in five years. mazzi Chart Czar has issued a correction as of 17:05 on Aug 11, 2020 |
