With how unaffordable life is in general, it’s not exactly surprising that people are having fewer kids. They’re a giant drain on your already scarce resources.
Frankly I was also hoping for corona to… do a little housekeeping as it were. But it didn’t really do much in terms of actual population decline.
Without societal change, even a die-off as extreme as half of everyone dying will have absolutely no effect beyond the immediate term. Just look at the Black Death as an example: about half of Europe among others died over its period and yet we are still facing overpopulation issues not 7 centuries later.
The general populace just needs to learn and understand that maybe staying well above replacement level is not good, actually.
Stop down voting him, he's right. Earth day is on April 22, so we would need to shrink earths population to a third in order to make our current way of living sustainable... (Shrink the rich first)
