Lead by example, professor.
If there are too many people, you go first.
There’s just the right amount of people. The right sort of people that is.
There’s too many of the rest of us, and we’re living way to high on the hog, consuming resources that rightfully belong to them.
This is the essence of the world-view of elites since time began. There shouldn’t be any more serfs and peasants than is absolutley necessary to keep them in luxury.
