Hypothesis: Depopulation, not overpopulation

LOL CosmicBoomer doesn't want to talk transportation. Nothing can be done other than incentivising everyone to drive their own F150, anything else is unicorns and rainbows.

I would be happy to talk transportation. EVs are nice in an urban environment. EVs are what...4% of total US cars? Without taxpayer subsidies and tax credits it would be far less. I am certainly not anti-EV as a consumer choice but up until now it is only the affluent that have been able to purchase one.

I would certainly consider a hybrid on my next vehicle purchase.

Seriously you were talking about hydroponics??? I assumed regenerative farming/ranching. Hydroponics is carbon intense and every large-scale commercial attempt has failed.

Accurately predicting the consequences of the fading away of the largest most influential generation in human history who also produced the most peaceful and prosperous time in human history is impossible, but I think it is safe to say that it will be a rocky road which will produce countless lib tears and lol opportunities.

Was awesome when the boomers took down the nazis in 45, not so much when they brought them back in 16.

I assume you are speaking specifically of Europe and Japan. Both of which had their infrastructure totally blown to after WWII and had the luxury of starting from scratch with US financial support. Both incidentally much smaller and more dense than the US.

Well, except for Korea, some central and South American banana republics, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Lebanon, Bosnia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Palestine, Yemen, and now Northern Africa its been pretty damn peaceful.

LOL WW2, like the interstates and the re ed car centric culture here predated that. More than 80% of our population is urban but can't build good public transit because tax dollars are supposed to be used for killing brown people overseas instead of improving things for US citizens.

You won't get any argument from me about trying to be democracy builders (peace through overwhelming firepower) in hole countries around the world.

You claimed they were responsible for bringing peace to the world. Peace clearly came from defeating the nazis and the Japan nationalists.

"Greatest" generation waged war on each other. Boomers did not, which resulted in the most peaceful prosperous time in human history. The beginning of the end of that period has begun.
