Not really that worried about it, just found the video interesting
But yeah, I agree especially since overpopulation and high birth rates are related to economic prosperity, as more countries grow themselves out of poverty, global populations will grow at a slower rate and the problem will go away by itself. Hell, it's even already projected.
Issues that appear to be less important though, which require actual action rather than happening automatically and contradict the interests of corporations, like the ones you mentioned well yeah might as well give up hope on those, so you don't let yourself down
In reply to this comment by marinara: ahh i know you're smart real smart but dont' worry about overpopulation. worry about aquifer loss in the midwest, loss of habitat resulting in species loss... even industrial chemicals causing buildups and knocking down the ecosystem.
the big things will take care of themselves so don't worry.
I can't over just how hilariously disinterested the presenter appears to be.
Anyway, this seems pretty nifty and intuitive. I wonder how they're able to get real time traffic updates or rather what kind of analysis they use to measure traffic density.
I'm hoping Obama puts more pressure on Israel to stop the settlments once the health care debacle is over. Netanyahu has accepted the idea of a Palestinian state although with the completely untenable expectation that it will be demilitarised. That, combined with the fact that he has wilfully allowed these kind of settlements to go on suggests that he is stalling and has no interest in following through.
At the very least Obama needs to put the foot down like Bush senior and make aid funds contingent on compliance with an end to settlements although I guess he is still naively hoping for a peace settlement. Not to mention he could simply have no intention of creating a two state solution at all, and just be feinting that. Either way, the chances of anything happening in the near future, or at all for that matter look pretty grim.
So much waffle. I barely heard a substantive thing in the whole two parts. Yes, outlasting peace is achieved by a democratic solution not imposed from the outside, yes Israel's policy is self detrimental, yes the US is biased towards Israel. Tell me something I don't know or wouldn't be able to figure out with basic logic ...
I have never heard that the TARP money was unused for the first 6 weeks, I googled and turned up nothing. Sounds very much like baloney. Financial institutions were hemorrhaging because their CDOs were worthless and the insurance institutions which had insured these with credit default swaps couldn't afford to pay them back. I can understand how backstopping the commercial paper/money market was necessary, but I can't see how you could have prevented the collapse of banking without the former.
