Yeah, the population aging crisis is bull shit. We have to reign in our consumption and stop over producing shit that just ends up in land fills because people can't control themselves to begin with.
Scarcity isn't an issue. Waste and logistics is our only real problem. Which could be solved easily if we stopped training people to be devout consumers of useless shit.

So we should have less fast fashion and put Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries, out of a job?
Or we should eat less meat and crash Brazil's economy, right?
Or maybe less Colombian coffee? Only 500,000 people depend on coffee exports there.
Or maybe we should lay on a whole transport network where we collect food wasted from supermarkets, take them to huge warehouses and then fly them to Somalia before they spoil? It's only logistics, right?
