#populationgrowth — Public Fediverse posts

Australian apartments are a financial trap. Policymakers, think tanks, the media, and the property lobby are pushing for Australians to live in high-rise apartments to accommodate an additional 13.5 million people in the country over the next 39 years.

Australia can't sustain endless population growth. In 39 years, our population is projected to hit 40.5 million, adding the equivalent of another Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Regional councils already struggle with revenue to support this. We can't afford the "Big Australia" our leaders envision. #PopulationGrowth #BigAustralia #BetterNotBigger #auspol

We resist talking about expertise but we have learned all manner of design techniques. We spend a time communicating difficult but important topics like #exponentialGrowth, #populationGrowth and #overconsumption, which can typically be a bit dry and attract poor behaviors from some. So we try to relay info in nuanced ways.

In recent years our focus is on #UBI, #hardCurrency (bitcoin) and #bankerCrimes as we have identified these as integral to solving above.

Why do you ask?

Have you seen Arithmetic, Population and Energy #lecture by Dr #AlbertBartlett.

It should be torrenting from every #peertube instance, tracker website, and #I2P node…

…along with a few other videos.

Its complimentary to Rich Man's Trick, if you've seen that (ie. It excels in the one area RMT falters slightly).

Reminder there is no form of #fascism that involves talking about #populationGrowth.

Fascism is when they say the answer to population growth is a "efficient" melding of govt and #bigBusiness to streamline #forcedLabour and other forms of #authoritarian-style #slavery, eg. #debtBondage.

Thanks for understanding.

Hi ILR,

So much bad #rascism back then.

Many negative ideas are put on #ThomasMalthus as #Malthusian but Malthus did provide positive scenarios around #education.

Educated #societies with access to #contraception and #familyPlanning services achieve lower #fertility - a great and #humane #scenario that #Malthus thought about.

#Elites don't want us knowing this. They want us to associate #populationGrowth with good and Malthus with evil, a from of #trickery for more hapless #workers.
