Populations in an overpopulated world
THE WORLD POPULATION AS OF 2021 IS ESTIMATED TO BE 7.8 BILLION PEOPLE
JUST UNDER 8 BILLION PEOPLE.
IT HAS BELIEVED THAT MANY POVERTY STRICKEN FAMILIES HAVE LARGE FAMILIES AS MUCH AS 10 KIDS IN THEIR FAMILY TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES IN OLD AGE AND SUPPORT THEIR ENTIRE CLAN.
FOR EXAMPLE,
IF SOME PARENTS ONLY HAVE 1 KID AND HE TURNS OUT TO BE AN ALCOHOLIC WHO DOESN'T WORK AND CAN'T BRING INCOME FOR THE FAMILY THEN THE POVERTY STRICKEN PARENTS ARE GOING TO FACE A HELL OF A TIME IN THEIR OLD AGE.
IN COUNTRIES THAT HAVE RIDICULOUSLY LOW PENSIONS FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE.
HENCE SOME FAMILIES ESPECIALLY POOR HAVE A "LET'S HAVE A LARGE FAMILY BELIEF"
SOME PARENTS ARE HOPING THAT THE OTHER 9 KIDS MAY JUST STRIKE A FINANCIAL WINDFALL FOR THE POOR FAMILY.
THE PROBLEM IS...
MORE PEOPLE= MORE PROBLEMS =MORE CRIME =MORE POLLUTION =MORE DISEASE =MORE DANGER =MORE CHAOS.
AT THE SAME TIME...
THE MORE A POPULATION =THE MORE WORKFORCE =THE MORE SKILLED WORKFORCE = THE MORE BUSINESS OPPURTUNITIES= THE MORE COMPETITION FOR OTHER BUSINESSES=THE MORE LOW PRICES
=THE MORE FOOD OPTIONS =THE MORE INNOVATION =THE MORE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT
=THE MORE A COUNTRY WILL THEN SHIFT ITS DEPENDENCE FROM AGRICULTURE TO A SERVICE ECONOMY WHERE A COUNTRY CAN BOOST ITS STANDARD OF LIVING BENEFITING MORE PEOPLE

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
DO YOU SUPPORT A WORLD WITH FEWER PEOPLE OR A LOT OF PEOPLE?
A WORLD WHERE IT'S PEACEFUL AND RURAL IN NATURE OR
A WORLD WHERE IT'S CHAOTIC AND LIKE A BUSTLING ECONOMY.
OR
EVEN A WORLD WHERE MOST PEOPLE WORKED FROM HOME
LIKE WEALTHY AFFILIATES OR ABOUT TO BECOME WEALTHY AFFILIATES
AND MOST OF OUR JOBS WERE REPLACED BY...
FOR EXAMPLE
TAXI ROBOTS,
SUPERMARKET SELF SERVE CASHIERS,
FOOD SERVING ROBOTS,
AEROPLANE PILOTING ROBOTS,
BANKING ROBOTS,
SECURITY GUARD ROBOTS,
WAITRESS ROBOTS,
NURSING ROBOTS,
TOLL BOOTH ROBOTS,
ROAD MAINTENANCE ROBOTS,
EVEN SEO ROBOTS
AHH...THE WORLD IS POISED FOR GREAT OR SCARY CHANGES!

Your blog content is really worth thinking about.
Things are really changing rapidly now it seems. It is really challenging to plan for the future. Because we don't know what the future will be like. It seems like this generation is changing much more rapidly than any prior one.
One of the best things is to keep building an online business because people will always shop online now.

Sounds like the "Terminator", Chris! Deep concerns, indeed!

There are many examples where science fiction has turned out to be facts. Ask the military their are now robot soldiers just like in the Terminator. I love doing my shopping at self serve scannier machines in the supermarket to save waiting in long queues and many pilots i have talked to told me they let the plane fly itself including landing too.
I know exactly what you mean, Chris!
