Supposedly there was some conference where the free traders gave lip service to population, in the context of the environment. Big fucking whoop. Meanwhile, the most powerful and wealthy entities in the world are trying to thwart efforts to curb population growth, often under the guise of religion. You have countries like Japan and Italy wringing their hands over "declining birth rates" and offering incentives to have children. Ever hear of Baby Bonuses? Trust me, the LAST thing plutocrats want people to do is make fewer workers/soldiers/consumers. GMAFB.
