I think since Reagan breaking the unions and NAFTA, regular Americans have felt their economic power decline. That makes people bitter and angry. They just want to burn things down and throw a tantrum rather than creating any type of country where someone other than them might succeed.

They won’t. Elon cut a program to detect famine called the Famine Early Warning System Network, which tracks food security in ~30 countries. And, he discontinued transfers of food to locations where there is famine and near famine. People are going to die and Elon Musk and DOGE are to blame.

If I am the next president, I will rescind all citizenships granted through this program and deport their recipients to a failed state’s prison of my choosing.

So, likely everyone in the developed world, not just billionaires.

I don’t disagree. I was just clarifying what would spur one.

Truthfully, we are fucked either way. The truth is having a baby boom would help the economy, but accelerate environmental degradation and the consequences of climate change, which will be extremely destabilizing to society and possibly lead to collapse.

But, if we don’t continue to grow the population, the capitalist world, based on a need for endless growth will falter. We will see less productivity and consumption, which will also be destabilizing to society as the economy shrinks or becomes stagnant. This is also destabilizing to society and could also create a collapse.

Idk man, around me it’s sprawling single family homes for miles, when it should be blocks and blocks of condos and town homes. The NIMBYs have prevented construction for decades and now a house costs $1.5m. There is a housing shortage. I think corporations recently taking an interest in buying houses is because the shortage makes their value appreciate so quickly. They’re like parasites taking advantage of the situation, not the root cause.

Imagine how much open source software could be developed for $500 million/year. What the fuck has firefox done?

Build massive amounts of new housing. Give people paid parental leave, and universal healthcare. Guaranteed baby boom.
