Humans are like any other mammalian population. More food, more humans. Look at Africa. We breed even when we are starving. At some point the ability to produce food will not keep up with the population. My guess is that the die off will be tremendous because we will have ruined the ability to produce food. Perhaps the remaining people will go Soylent Green? Well anyway, none of us alive today will see what really happens.

Homestead

It's been tried.

It's called communism and it has never worked, because it can't work!

Perception Is The Putrescence Of Politics And The Plague Of The People
(Article with a lot of detail)
In the following piece I want to lay to rest any notion that the accepted state of the economy has anything to do with any other than perception. My hope is that by the end there will be very few that can continue to believe there is anything left to the idea that the underlying economy is either strong or improving; a perception substantiated by current market valuations rather than a reality substantiating current market valuations.

Capitalism is, in its most honest and basic form (i.e. its true and only form), simply the trade off of something for something else, with the value of trade being determined by supply and demand dynamics on both sides of the transaction. That’s it.

And so then it becomes a very difficult task to understand how that can be the evil force so many around the world attribute to capitalism. It is also a very trying task then to see how the current system has anything to do with capitalism. But as does Krugman with Keynesian economics the definition of things that most don’t understand very well can be easily mutated for public consumption to make a particular stance seem much stronger than truth would merit. And there is that other evil term that goes hand in hand with capitalism, merit.

I'm just wondering that if everything is available to everyone whats the sense in greed?
Plus, the meanings of things goes out of them.
If everyone can have ------ then whats the reason to desire it and gave it in the first place.
So, good. You have (blank). Well, can I.

Read some great books on advertising. See how they convince us that to rebadge a car, give it a few extra folds in the body work, that they convince us its worth $20 gs more.

And even worse, that we can afford to pay interest to get it and the "worstest", that we can through away money on depreciation.

Another variant of this idea might be: we all agree that except for housing, we all agree to buy nothing unless we have cash.

Watch the prices fall to appeal to the new ethic.

Sure but son't expect the same quality of beer and BBQ because there will be no incentive to be great just mediocre to poor.

Great theory, but who is going to make the all the cars? Who is going to do the research to build the new computer? Once you get everything why work at all? Only place this will work is in Heaven.

I guess, I'll just have to wait for Mrs Howle to be a widow.

Homestead

For a long time, the so called experts had decided that over population created poverty.

It took them a while to learn and deal with the truth.

Poverty creates population.

In a mean state of society, one needs a clan to cling to where all hands work together for their mutual benefit.

No bond is stronger than family, so poverty breeds large families.

When incomes go up, people have smaller families.

That's just the way it is.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

I like the concept of taking the money driving us out but believe for those whom look to achieve all it would do is switch to whatever is then representative of that status..

The need greater to control than to have possessions..

Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness.... yet so many are driven to achieve above the standard.. Even if there never was money, something would still be the sought after commodity..

Those whom are motivated will still be and those whom are not will still live with just their basics met..They are content right there that's all...

America Only Loc: From the right hand of God

The lord does not want any whimps in heaven. Best be back to reading YOUR Bible. Wiping out all the criminals and maggots sounds EXACTLY what the lord would want for this world! Perhaps you merely think you believe in your lord when your lord is welfare stamps and seeing the world suffer. Nope, not gonna happen. Back to blowing out some candles for you or what ever else you can do to call yourself useful. BY BYE!
