Increasing population only really benefits corporations and the top 1%

I would really like to see a national conversation about helping people find happy, satisfying lifestyles away from the rat race. With a national population smaller than what we have today — if you look at current dating patterns and fertility, I think a population crash is inevitable.

If we had 250 million Americans, and if many of those people didn’t want to be corporate wage slaves, what would it look like?

But this sort of discussion is “off limits” because we need to grow, grow, grow. We need profits. We need big corporations. We need CEOs with yachts and private jets. We need lots of stuff. Ordinary people living pleasant lives??? Where’s the fun in that????

Amen, 1950, 1960, 1970 America had all the quality population we needed, and we were a nation united and with a national identity, and the best at most everything, with an incredibly advanced future to look forward to of ever increasing betterment and quality of life.

Eliminate the liberals, their social BS and LGBTWRSTUVWXYZ freak show and we explode economically and crime would drop 100 fold because we’d enforce laws with a strong police force and military that would be unstoppable.

It’s not the number of people you have it’s the quality of the people.

Get rid of socialist programs and we’ll be fine.

Limited government was the right idea from the get go.

“Oh no, AI is going to reduce the demand for labor!”

“Oh no, the supply of labor is decreasing!”
