      Malthus was wrong about this too. It’s not the population that’s a problem, it’s miles of strip malls, filled with cheap trash, and meat and dairy every meal of the day.

        And why are those being built? Because the consumer population doesn’t care and continues consuming the cheapest dirtiest shit imaginable.

          Okay? That doesn’t change the fact that it’s the lifestyle of people in rich countries, not the number of people that is the problem.
