Over population

[Salty]

On another thread it was mentioned that we now have 8 billion people on this planet

Some would say - OVER POPULATION!

But is there??

Lets look at facts:

Sq miles in the USA 3,531,905

if you put the worlds entire world population in the USA -
22,650 people per square mile.
29,302 people per square mile - actually who live in NY City

those 22,650 would be 35 people per acre
4 people per 1/4 acre
1/4 acre is the typical single home lot.

Before you say - no room for roads, schools, ect -
just remember this is only for the USA -- lots of room world wide

The USA only has about 6 % of land mass of the entire earth.
Thus on the entire earth - that would be about 1200 people per sq mile
which would equal about 2 people per acre.

Overpopulation - dont think so

How many acres of land does it take to grow enough food to feed 1 person? You have 2 people per acre with 1/4 of that acre taken up by their house.

That is in the USA - so we will do farming in Canada and Mexico

But then again - I just assumed common sense

But then again I did address that in the OP

The Godless Left has been using one myth after another for my entire life to destroy the idea of free enterprise, where we the people govern our own lives, like where to live, who to associate with, and how many children we spawn. (Not how many we can kill.)

Here are some recent ones:
1) Birth control by abortion is not murder
2) Do not use fossil fuel because it causes Climate Change
3) Stop driving and use mass transit, never mind the health hazards and thuggery.
4) God is dead, so says Time Magazine.

As we spiral into the post Christian era, where lying is the norm, and do unto others as you want to be treated cultural norm is obliterated, keep voting for the Dems.

You might need to reread your OP.

I believe the 2 people per acre is worldwide (so I let slide all of the land area that is mountain and desert and unsuitable for farming) but I did place both of those people into a “suburbia” 1/4 acre house (sort of like we were all going to fend for ourselves on our 1 acre lots)

Might want to remember that the projected population will be even higher because of all the men that can now have babies.

Schumer needs to be informed so he can stop justifying the exodus into the US.

I read a year or two ago that if all the people in the world lived as close together as they do in Hong Kong, the the entire population could live in Tasmania.
The problem of the future is going to be a rapidly shrinking and aging population. It won't worry me though; I shall be in glory before then.

The world goes the way the world goes and I try to exist in it for now but I have a higher calling... Brother Glen

Definitely overpopulated. Would be better off with half the us population gone, the Democrat kind.
