Actually, the free sterilizations under Obamacare might prevent that - unless too many taxpayers take advantage of it.

Taxpayers average 1.5 kids, dependents average 2.5-3.

[tbw2]

I think we’re actually approaching the rocket technology and international cooperation to forestall that - and the interstellar monitoring to catch it in a time frame when we can stop it.

[tbw2]

Hepatitis C could qualify, too.

“Americathon” or “Soylent Green”.

Maybe “Sleeper”

[Slings and Arrows]

“Idiocracy.”

I can tell you what’s NOT going to happen in my lifetime....

Communist bastards using starvation as a weapon again to reduce the population of their American opposition.

I’ll be dead long before that.

Treat any attempt to control your guns or means of producing food as a direct attempt against your life...because it is!

The ghosts of tens of millions bear witness to the fact starving an unarmed opposition is the favorite tactic of the left.

neither would apply

the global pandemic they refer to is equivilent to The 1918 Influenza Pandemic that killed more people than WW1 which was being fought at that time...

I'm thinking a cross between Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" society, combined with Idiocracy, and maybe even "Soylent Green."

The entire movie “Idiocracy.”

Doesn't count since it is already happening. The first 10 minutes of that movie is absolutely true. Clevon will out breed us all.

Never really thought of that as science fiction, but yeah.
