@mekkaokereke @craignicol Yep. The meaningful number is How Many Humans on Planet Earth? When it slides below carrying capacity and decent lives, maybe authorities might look at policies.
Policies that can help include access to healthcare and support for reproductive rights. People should be able to choose to have a child or not.
Currently far too many humans aren't getting their needs for water, shelter and food met while a few super wealthy people have too much.
