I feel this so deep in my soul. The money-hoarding dragons protecting their piles of treasure that could buy healthcare, housing, social services, environmental protection, etc for everyone else are ruining everything.

After a person makes $100 million that should be the end of it. Like ok, you get some kind of award or trophy announcing you’ve won at life. Any wealth you’ve “made” over $100 million needs to go back to making the world better for everyone else. (I say “made” because one single person cannot make that much money alone. They obviously exploited the work or comfort of other humans in one way or another to get where they are.)

TAX THE ULTRA-WEALTHY NOW.

I'm not surprised. North America, Most of Europe, And especially China and India which are two of the biggest countries in the world right now are at below population replacement rates. If there is a surefire, cheap, and easy to produce cure for AIDS and Ebola the Continent of Africa's population might shoot up next As the basic research I just did implied that they had a two points 6% increase and 2022 ending up with an approximate population of 1.4 billion...

I doubt it. The population of parts of Africa (Nigeria for example) is set to quadruple over the next decade or so.
The counterbalance is Europe + China declining. Both (largely) regions where religion has little sway over the population and birth control and the command of go forth and multiply are meaningless.
Now... getting back to Africa...
Oh, shit.
