The population is actually tipped to massively reduce on the next 100 years due to a large portion of people not have babies simply due to crappy economic conditions, inflation, war the lying flat movement in china and the ever increasing destruction of the middle class into the homeless poor. Aside from rich people destroying peoples ability to have happy lives, there’s also the plastic problem that’s quite literally made every male living thing have a reduced sperm count and it continues to drop as plastic is in the air, our clothes carpet and oceans. Endocrine disruptors in our bodies are being effected by chemicals found in vinyl products, thermal receipts and Tupperware releasing chemicals when heated in microwaves. These things are so small they enter the bloodstream and pass through the blood brain barrier… Fuuuck

So if you want to save the future start by sniping off rich oligarchs and ban plastic completely

Anytime a government mentions privatising something, it sells a public asset for pennys in the dollar, which cuts quality of service to make a profit and as a result drives up its cost as the government that sold it pockets a commission to use as a war chest against its opposition.

It basically privatises the profit and socialises the debt. So instead of government debt (which is easier to pay off as governments don’t die like humans do and they get better rates of interest) it becomes public debt ie people become impoverished.

Recently economists in Australia have come to the realisation that inflation by in large isn’t caused by regular citizens as much as it by large private profits from ceos and executive pay packets and tax avoidance of the companies in general.

Taxing the large corporate empires that sneak into Argentina and pay little to no tax would not only address the cause of Argentinas inflation it would reduce the debt and pay for vital services like medical, roads, education etc…

An example that comes to mind is all the foreign mining companies that literally steal the wealth out the ground of your country and pay nothing to the people that live there.

Like what currently happens in most countries with conservatard governments in power

But don’t tell the Yanks they’ll replace your government before you can whistle Yankee doodle Gough Whitlam! Cough cough
