1. The planet needs fewer ppl, not more.

Yes, those that talk about the aging population and who’s going to support capitalism if we don’t continue to gain population are correct…if we continue this way life, but this isn’t sustainable. We need a paradigm shift if our species is to survive.

3. Yes...here's a thought thou. They most polluting thing to the earth is to have a baby

4. The more people, the less each is worth to a capitalist.

They've been wanting people to work for nothing since slavery was officially ended, so they need more people to compete for every penny.

5. Little late to report this MSM.

I guess it's a good thing they are even reporting it but biologists have been observing and writing about this for many years.

The Sixth Extinction, an excellent book written by Elizabeth Kolbert was published in 2014.

Here's a very good website for detailed information:

6. Thanks so much for the link.

And yes, this has been discussed for years, but it rarely makes the news.

7. You're welcome.

It is just so god damned sad that everything has to die at the feet of Human greed, hubris and arrogance funneled into population controlling devices like religion, economic fantasies and social diversions.

Especially sad because my mother died on December 21, 2022. She had been in hospice so not unexpected, but still.
