Are we really acting like we need more humans on earth?

[thethe]

Someone said if we elect a Socialist we will lose 5 million jobs. How is it not relevant to post positive job numbers from the last Socialist President? Or was Obama not a real socialist?

You're too high again. Re-read the post.

New chant at Dem National Convention.

"POPULATION CONTROL! POPULATION CONTROL! POPULATION CONTROL!"

or...

"BAN HIMANS! BAN HUMANS! BAN HUMANS!"

I think the first one has a better ring to it, but the second one is more on brand for the left's position of banning everything

[sturg33]

Because nuclear energy, given the life-cycle costs of the power plants—building them, operating them, decommissioning them, transporting and storing spent fuel, etc.—does not net out to an acceptably low carbon footprint, especially considering the risks involved. You are free to disagree, but it’s a perfectly reasonable and defensible position.

If you emission reduction plan doesnt include nuclear, then we are dead in 12 years

Heck yeah we need more humans.

“She’s promised about $50 trillion worth of benefits in the last 30 days. Her economics are a fraud and at some point someone is going to point that out. She’s a multimillionaire professor at Harvard. She can’t rail against the 1 percent — she is one of the 1 percent.”

Dirk Harpootlian of the Biden campaign

I actually think that it is helpful for the Biden campaign to have Warren and Sanders split the support of the activist left. The ideal outcome for Biden is they split it 50-50 and both remain in the race for the duration.

Oh man - These candidates are epic

[goldfly]

so, you think the earth needs more humans?

weird for someone who claims that they look at data and facts to say such a thing


but i guess you could keep going down whatever dumb point you're attempting to make

[goldfly]

Heck yeah we need more humans.

why?

"POPULATION CONTROL! POPULATION CONTROL! POPULATION CONTROL!!!"

[goldfly]

yes, you have fun saying that

i see that

can tell me why we need more humans on this planet?

[sturg33]

I dont think we "need" anything living thing on this planet.

But yeah, count me on the side of not advocating for killing humans.


You've made your stance clear. Your support for the socialists is the right choice to achieve less people living

Get the chant ready!

[goldfly]

i have made my stance clear?

by asking you why we need more humans on this planet is a stance?


lol

man, for someone who acts like they levitate above others with intelligence around here, you have a really simple mind

[sturg33]

Well I suppose I can ask you very simple question.

Do you support government mandated population control measures?

[acesfull86]

why?

Overly simplified perhaps but more people = more ideas which = more good ideas which enrich the rest of the world. This has been the pattern the world’s been following for centuries. I understand folks are concerned the planet can only sustain so many people, and there probably is a theoretical limit out there, but this concern has been around since at least the time of Malthus, and so far technological progress has far outpaced the costs of population growth. I don’t see strong evidence this won’t continue. The world’s people are richer than ever before and we’ve never had more people on the planet.

i hear ya and i understand that and is a good point

if the last sentence is only using the word richer to equate to money though i don't know if that is worth that much but i hear ya on the rest


thanks for the response

[cajunrevenge]

Oh man - These candidates are epic

Maybe we should nuke McDonalds.

[Carp]

why?

Statistics actually support theories that human population is likely to start decreasing by 2040. The world's population growth is currently the lowest it's been since WWII.

Quick reminder what a non fantasy land policy sounds like

[sturg33]

It's amazing that the party of science continues to push this fantasy
