Rudeness and over population

Rudeness and over population

General


Anyone caught smoking in a no smoking zone will be killed.

Anyone cutting in line will be killed.

What other solutions are there for rudeness and over population?

There is an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation, early in series 1 if I recall correctly, that riffed on this idea of draconian punishment for minor infractions [in the episode it was stepping on the grass despite signs forbidding it] - but it wasn't a story about population control; it was instead a contemplation on inhumanity.

In which countries is this "overpopulation" found?

I know there are several key nations - like Russia and China, and Japan too - that have a problem with an aging/declining population and there is a geopolitical crisis looming.


I think he means we are becoming that society.

Limiting the right to have children has been a hideous demographic disaster for China.

The aging population often have issues with rudeness and is the ideal solution. We don't need more people to look after the elderly, we need less elderly.

The countries you mention are all overpopulated, the new rule will do them well.

Russia, China, and Japan? What nonsense.

You are mistaken. Aging/declining populations need a certain number of people to maintain the society/economy. If not enough people are of working/tac-paying age, then more are needed.

I'd say we're about 6.3 billion overpopulated.

With less people a smaller economy is needed.

Russia, China, and Japan are en route to demographic disaster.

It's about birth rate rather than numbers.
