@derek1111 Even with a dropping TFR, we are still projected to hit 1.7bn by 2050. India is already struggling to provide a decent quality of life to the 1.3bn we have today - can we handle 1.7bn? The struggle for resources is going to be massive across all of South Asia and we should actively...

@heliumskylark I made a post a few weeks ago on how I would resolve population issues. No force/coercion, only positive benefits to willing participants.

@itjesus I think as a nation, we can't be blind to the bigger problem, and we have to focus on both getting rid of Covid and fixing the environment. I believe we can definitely do both at the same time. Its not a binary either/or situation.

@tm_childofgod There's a huge opportunity here to make money. Jio can be the one stop shop for Indians seeking retail, hyperlocal, fibre internet/cable tv, streaming, sim cards, and whatever else Reliance Industries can think of.

@sammie2019 I had one of these. I said to the guy you're obviously a scam and should go boil your head. He was really offended
