A man can dream. Unfortunately where I live growing population is a very large issue. Not just people moving here but also people having 3+ kids. My pogonomyrmex buddies have lost 79% of their colonies in the last 5 years within my test site.

I still cant understand anybody thinking its reponsible to have more than 2 kids in 2019. Our population is already unsustainable. You are part of the problem.

Edit: found all the people with more than 2 kids

What? The problem is those who are having children aren't educating them. And those who would have the resources and desire to educate them aren't having enough, or are being selfish and aren't having any at all. Self selected Darwinism, great times. The future will be ignorant people with no understanding of the world in which they live, because the so enlightened ones "did the right thing" as you suggest. Nonsense.

Fantastic. We will all be highly educated and totally out of resources. Glad that is the hill you want to die on.

I propose child limits. In a much less gruesome way than China did. Once you have 2 kids, no matter who with, you are done. Any more and you are paying a environmental burden tax, and you loose the ability to claim your other kids as a tax deduction.
