That is pretty genius for sure but I think the issue is that these people think that once shit hits the fan they will be able to stop the desperate masses at their border by legalisation or whatever.
Got a lot more crowded, expensive and exhausted.
You see humans everywhere you go.
Stuff gets more expensive, but quality keeps declining both in products and in services for all that is quality of life related or crucial(housing, food, transportation...)
When I was born there were less than 5 bill humans on earth, now it's over 8. I can feel it constantly and in everything.
The trajectory doesn't seem so great to me.
There are some aspects that are better, but I don't feel they compensate for the things we have lost.
I also feel that growing up today is a lot harder than it was when i was growing up.
