By 2022, the cumulative effects of overpopulation, pollution and an apparent climate catastrophe have caused severe worldwide shortages of food, water and housing. There are 40 million people in New York City alone, where only the city's elite can afford spacious apartments, clean water and natural food. The homes of the elite are fortified, with private security, bodyguards for their tenants, and usually include concubines (who are referred to as "furniture" and serve the tenants as slaves)

The above is part of the premise for the movie:

Soylent Green 🙂

Could be a good phrase for the environment wackos as Rush called them. Soylent Greenies. By the way as a kid the movie scared the hell out of me. I actually believed the World would end up like the movie. We got a Communist Revolution instead.

NYC population is around 8 million. The sprawling metro includes counties from NY, NJ, CT and even PA, and has a population of around 25 million.
