I find it kind of mind blowing that when Jane Fonda was in primary school, who is still alive mind you, there was only 2.5 billion people on the planet.

Ehhh I'm not willing to stretch the meaning of "addiction" that far. People that do crimes to make money are not "addicted" to money. The husband and wife in this story aren't money addicts, they're just selfish/greedy/shitty people that are willing to hurt others in order to benefit themselves.

Surprise, corrupt law enforcement.

The state will do better?

But the growth rate won't immediately decline to 0 or a negative. It will first rise, then peak, then slow then reverse. And that peak will be at roughly 8.6 billion people....

This isn't saying our population will max out at 8.6 billion.

The point is that Africa's birthrate is declining. Every time they look, the decline is happening faster than anticipated. I am confident that experts are aware of the existence of the continent of Africa, and are not excluding those countries from their population projections.

Uzbekistan also has a population of 35 million.

No, because if the population tops out at 8.6 billion people then the growth rate is 0 (which is not the peak/highest value)

The population may peak at 8.6 Billion, though.

…

^”Ackshually”

Is this not saying that the rate in which our population increases will peak roughly around the time we have 8.6 billion people? And would the rate not be annually?

Obviously the population won't pull a 180 and immediately start shrinking. It will start to grow at a slower rate until the growth rate slows into a decline...

I swear some people just have to be edgy and controversial.

Christy Mack (Mackinday) has a difficult read Wikipedia page:

>In August 2014, Mackinday and her boyfriend Corey Thomas were assaulted by Koppenhaver in her Las Vegas home.[13][14] Mackinday sustained eighteen broken bones, a broken nose, missing teeth, a fractured rib, a ruptured liver, and a thigh bruise so deep she was unable to walk for at least a week.[15] Mackinday says Koppenhaver also attempted to rape her, but was unable to maintain an erection.

This is so sad. Despite all of our efforts to reduce the population—we’re still eating ourselves alive.

Well there's your problem. You logged on instead of deleting.

They have dump of an aging headquarters. They once had a plan to build a bank tower in downtown like everyone else but that never materialized.

It's a shame because they demolished a historic building in downtown for the tower they never built.

That doesn't sound smart. We should definitely pick a position, and stick with it regardless of new information or models. /s

Everyone is saying this, but I haven’t experienced it. Maybe y’all just really love fighting and ranting about politics and don’t want to see any dissenting opinions, whereas I don’t want any of that, so I block it all.
