Generally, during the energy crisis of the 1970's, the population of the United States of America was about 200 million. There was much discussion, at that time, that we must slow the growth of people and development or we would run out of energy sources. Of course, none of these things came to pass. Energy consumption and commercial development have "expolded." Government leaders discovered that our Social Security Program Fund had been raided by every president since FDR, and there would be no money to support those who had supported the fund for their elders, sinc the 1930's.
The "unpublicized plan" that resulted was to allow illegal immigration to "explode" into the USA, so that those workers' Social Security taxes would support the current batch of retired persons. The "government" forgot to consider that illegals did not pay taxes. They send the bulk of their earning "back to the home land. The population of the USA currently exceeds 300 million!
This is an example of the "unintended consequences" that result from short range politically motivated planning that I am worning us about.
My intent is to get responsible people, all over our world, to begin long range planning that will slow the growth of people and development so that our world can continue to support all of us in a "quality fashion!"
IF WE COLLECTIVELY START THINKING AND WORKING ON WAYS TO ACHIEVE THESE NOBLE GOALS...IT CAN HAPPEN...THANK YOU FOR CARING.
