Population control

Population control
Another thread was getting hijacked - so I will pick it up here.

Why is anyone against population control?

My guess - it's a knee jerk reaction - bred in by years of religious twaddle.

Logical people - like some scientists - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/...mate-alarm -  are calling for shrinking the population to mitigate human impact on the environment

RE: Population control
Because it won't freaking work or it won't work in time to matter or will require draconian policies no sane government would pass

Actually -

Implementing a mandatory restriction would be horrible way to go. (Like China tried)

.
We need to change the mindset. We need to get people to WANT to not procreate. We need to quit rewarding breeders with tax advantages. We need to change our beliefs. 

I have no kids. My SO had no kids. By elective surgery - neither of us can. Our choice. 

We did our share.

Others need to follow.
