"Where's that plague I keep hoping for? I think a thinning of the herd is seriously in order here."
Our leaders are demented. Current policies regarding all types of immigration will, according to US Census Bureau projections, propel the greedy resource-hogging population of the USA to reach ONE BILLION then more in a 100 years or so.
Think of the ramifications regarding all resources!!!! Water, heating fuels, food, open space, shelter, everything!!!!
Think the roads are crowded now? Major changes will be needed regarding transportation.
Guess the herd will have to pack in tight, very tight, to allow walking and public transportation.
Imagine the crime rates and uncivility. We are a "diverse" society. That is not conducive to peaceful coexistence. Maybe the Japanese with their mono-culture can handle being packed in akin to rats in a cage but I doubt if severe crowding bodes well for the USA.
Thank your politicos for ignoring reality. In the 1970s our people were pretty darn close to the relacement rate regarding population. But, policies were enacted to change that.
Golly, I really do feel sorry for those of you who spawned. Your grandkids likely won't suffer much but, your grandkid's kids and surely within a couple generations after that, life in the USA's non-elites will be far different than the resource rich life of today. Life in the near future may be more akin to a science-fiction story preaching dread and disgust within a population clamoring for a little elbow room, for freedom from living in a congested world where freedoms will have to be curtailed to allow mere existence.
Yep..... the future folks may be cursing us for allowing our leadership to shove the masses into a morass.
Glad I'll be dead and gone. The future looks mighty grim to Coot. But, who knows. The humans who make up the flock of bleating sheep may revel living in a crowded society where individualism is minimized and many decisions are made by their superiors. Maybe the predicted future I dread will be just what the masses of moronic illogical idiots desire.
