" this popped up on my newfeed so I thought, hey, why not chime in. Overpopulation is a myth that has been disproved for hundreds of years. Start with Mathus and end with Paul Ehrlich. Ehrlich convinced Americans that we would starve by the mid 80s. And welp, we're still here. If overpoulation is a problem, then why are some European countries paying their citizens to have more babies? The answer is simple. The population as become lopsided. There aren't enough young people to care for the old, by way of taxes and retirement programs like social security. The US doesn't have this problem yet because of immigration. Yes, believe it or not, immigrants and their younger generations is what keeps this country afloat when it comes to paying for the care of the older generation. You should check out this documentary produced by social scientists. It addresses the reasons for the decline in population and what the future has in store for us.
