[QUOTE=bulletbob;2781127]I submit to you that population is not the issue. The issue is government interference in the market place, the myriad rules and regulations against businesses of all stripes impeding them from being able to bring new products on the market. In Third World counties its the government that allows monopolies to exist and the desire of the ruling class to reap all the wealth.
Free market capitalism run without any government intervention can feed, clothe and house an unlimited number of people but the ruling class and their lap dog collectivist see capitalism as a threat to their incompetence.

Someone has been reading up on the Georgia Guidestones, I see.
Just remember, once things are declared unsustainable, you too are expendable....

[QUOTE=bulletbob;2781312]There are not too many people. There are too many regulations and maybe cultural roadblocks to making everyone prosperous. Take the United States, when the country was founded 80% of the population was engaged in farming. Now less than 2% are feeding not only us but many other countries as well. In the 1960's Southern Rhodesia fed not only itself but several neighboring countries. When it became Zimbabwe and everything then belonged to the government it could not longer even feed half of its citizens. I will never concede its overpopulation that is causing famine and starvation. It is over regulation.
