Or

it's predicted that by 2050 the earth will have 9.9Billion people or over the next 28 years 2 billion more, which is the number of people the earth can support.
Capitalist: love that more workers to sell more products too. unless AI/robots take over
Socialist: who the fuck going to feed these people "Solvent Green"
1-Bad
2-lets go out with a bang

The latest prediction I saw actually dialed that back to 8-ish billion.

Apparently Africa is the only place left where women are still having litters - everywhere else is down to or below replacement birth rate.

Yawn. Making sure that drugs actually do what the seller claims it does, without causing harm has nothing to do with your body, your choice. It has to do with regulating the marketplace.

No one is saying it should be illegal for you to drink some arsenic tonight. Have at it. We are saying it’s illegal for you to sell ineffectual bad drugs.
You are making it illegal for me to buy the drugs that I want to buy and put them in my body in some kind of parental effort to protect me from my decisions.

Sorry, the Fakebertarian meetup is down at the Ikea buffet, 6ish. Just look for a lot of guys. Ask for Tom.

Regulating the marketplace is not the same as regulating your body but don't tell them that.
And regulating women's bodies is regulating women's bodies but they can't figure that out.

Nope, you can buy whatever the marketplace provides.
However, if you want to sell drugs that either 1- do not help/solve medical problems that you claim they do, or 2- drugs that are deemed to cause great harm, then the rest of us want the law to protect US from you.

Always amusing when a bunch of us millionaires with 6-knot-shitboxes debate economic systems and we claim our wealth is due to anything other than 99% blind luck with a tickle of something that kinda looks like work.

awww, did I hurt your feelings?

Hold on, I have to check ... I have never had my feelings hurt by a milquetost suburban rightie who can commit to neither an ideal nor a trade, so I'm not sure ...

Nah, my feelings are untouched, you're good. You can continue to follow me around without concern.

Awesome movie.

Unless we see an economic collapse of some kind, I doubt we will hit 10 billion. The population growth rate is now at 1% and headed fast to zero. Already is zero and less in many places.

As for the number of people that the planet can support, where did you read that? Seems suspect.

That is just a lie. If I made perfectly good insulin, the FDA would still not let me sell it without going through their hoops. Plenty of people would want to buy it. But you want to block them from doing so.

Because drug manufacturers have been proven to be less than safe in their product.

Remember, most drug rules have a group of dead people behind them.

The FDA is the authority entrusted by We The People to determine your insulin is "perfectly good."

You expect a buyer to take your say-so, on something you're selling? You're not interested in buyers and markets, you want suckers.
