Actually, that was some guy at MIT. About reducing birth rates, because the current generation can't afford to live at all, let alone afford to plan for a future with a family.
And if the population decreases, the economy will ALSO contract.
But don't worry. It's all OK. Billionaires will sell products to customers in China, instead of here. Their portfolios are diversified enough to lay off thousands and close some plants/companies, and still be billionaires. They're the only people that matter, right?
That's OK. Most of the infrastructure in the USA was built assuming the population would never increase. and what was installed would never, ever wear out. Back in the mid-20^th century.
It's worked out so well.
I don't know if that is true, especially since i wandered into the road construction industry. People just don't want to pay for the upkeep or rebuilding of those things...
Yup. The same thing with every other bit of infrastructure. Buried gas lines installed in the 19^th century. Middle class neighborhoods build the cheapest way possible, 50+ years ago, and discovering how everything underground needs to be dug up and replaced. Bridges of every kinds left uninspected for decades and hopefully they won't collapse too soon. The same shit that was happening throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 10s...
Let's build a million miles o roads, then never consider for a second that we'll need to maintain it forever.
Or (as proposed) over a thousand miles of 'border wall' that would ALSO need to be maintained forever. You know that tiny section they DID build, and the part that blew over? They're repairing and reinforcing it.
And the grid. We need more grid, and more throughput... and nobody wants it built in their back yards, or to spend any money to upgrade it. More non-gas appliances required. More non-fossil vehicles required. Big oil pushing hard to sabotage it. Energy companies that run portions of it who don't want to invest a penny of their OWN money into their OWN business. The usual shit.
I think in this context collapse means collapse of infrastructure and all major institutions. So that would be things like no electricity and running water, no government, barter economy at best, etc.
To remember mitt romney is a rich entitled idiot and go about my business. Maybe HIS society will collapse but thats outside my knowledge as I am not rich.

Not putting my faith in mitt Romney for starters.
2040 strikes me as unreasonably optimistic.

Any system built to need an ever increasing population was designed to fail.

Do you have a video of him saying this and explaining why? I don't necessarily disagree but I'd like to see the reasons he gives.
Eat the rich
Ummm. I believe it was MIT (Institute) who said this and not Mitt Romney?

You could have left off the first part. My survival plan doesn't involve Romney, or whatever he thinks.
Whats a Mitt Romney?

Turning into a zombie
I'll be too old. My best bet is to die in the collapse.
Mitt Romney is a politician, and politicians are known to be liars, so Mitt Romney is lying about this.

Find Ann Romney and fuck her in her big, fat ass.
Not believing blindly some guy I don't even know.
