But what is the point of artificially increasing the population when machines and computers are already eliminating so many jobs?
What's going to happen then? Who is going to have to pay for a surplus of unemployed and underemployed people? The state will go bankrupt.
This short-term need to artificially increase the population with mostly low-skilled and uneducated immigrants and refugees to enter the labour force, is going to create far worse long-term problems.
Already look at all the ghettos in France and the council estates in the UK. This will get even worse.
Good points, TBH I don't know the answers, just trying to make sense with all those facts.
I am sure 99.9 of the population is clueless about how things will turn out in 20 years.
One thing is certain, poor masses pose great threat for civilized western world.
Maybe improving third world nations welfare/and not supporting terrorism would ease off the pressure.
I can understand, world arena is all about competion, and you don't owe any nation favours.
Problem is, imperial powers also "systematically destroying any possible competiton"
I sincerely believe this is the main problem.
After Ataturk, USA manipulate Turkish goverments to stop industrialism and rail road construction.
They supported construction of highways, agriculture and lukewarm Islam.
You may say South Korea is a success story, if USA didn't let them prosper, they wouldn't be much better than Turkey or Greece.
Their lack of religion also helps, I must admit.
You can harm any country by supporting religious parties.
