    Everyone has heard for DECADES that overpopulation is a problem, soon as humanity self-corrects though its “oh no what about our lack of disposable factory workers”. I don’t like living on this world can someone take me to the horse head nebula or something

      “Overpopulation” is a theory that was floated about for a little bit in the middle of the 20th century. It was quickly disproven on all grounds, but it’s a convenient oversimplification so it held on anyway.

      There’s enough food and water and housing for everyone out there. We just can’t figure out how to assign our resources fairly and without enormous amounts of waste.
