The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The solution is unclear.

I've been pounding the table about overpopulation for a long long time.

Religionist opposition to family planning isn't helping.

People respond "No sano, education will improve things." "No sano, technology will save us." "No sano, the rate of growth is slowing down, it'll be okay."

I've written about how in the 1980s the average age south of the border was 10 yrs old, and how all those kids would boom their impoverished populations if the Pope didn't hop on the Planned Parenthood train..... and how US religionists and right-wing anti-birth control and anti-abortion forces were shooting us in the foot.

I said Africa and South America populations would swarm north.

Well here they are and they ain't a stoppin'.

How the US right wing and religionists around the world still don't see the relationship between modern family planning and the numbers of mouths needing food and water is a testament to something.
