RE: Population Growth Is Directly Proportional to Assholery
I'm struck by the similarity between the "beautiful ones" in the video and today's celebrity chasing youth.
Though they looked inquisitive, they were in fact, very stupid.
What's really scary is that the study this film documents appears to have taken place back in the 1980's.
The U.N estimates that 54% of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 66% by 2050.
But these urban areas are entirely dependent on the rural areas for food.
The Confined Feedlot Operations urban areas depend on for food are also breeding grounds for the superbugs you mention. My understanding is that the preventive use of antibiotics & growth hormones in these operations are a major contributor.
I like living in the country. The occasional trip into a city helps remind me why.
actually they don't HAVE to be dependent on rural areas for food.
vertical farming, aquaponics, hydroponics, to name just a few alternatives to farms.
But they have to be willing and able to learn how.
That's always the tricky part.
nope...that's the best part.
it's automagic.
The biological solution. Whoever doesn't do it, doesn't do ANYTHING.
I was thinking along those lines too! I've seen animals being raised in overcrowded conditions. The manure piles up, the flies come in, the animals get sick, they begin to fight for space, clean water, and food. Soon after, they start dying, one by one. All it would take is for New York not to be able to flush their toilets for ONE day....
And Atlantic City would starve?
Sorry, I couldn't resist that one. ;-)
Oh dang! LOL!
