[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't read all of the discussion, but higher competition is the direct result is more people competing for less resources. There's really nothing else to it. With population in the world going up and up, and the ability to immigrate, depending on the location, the competition will only get worse. There are a few countries with more than a billion people. Probably a good percentage of South America has already moved here, just talk to someone from the South and they'll tell you they have relatives all over the place. Just imagine your own family and adding an outsider to it each and every year, keeping resources the same. This is what is happening on the larger scale.  [/quote]

Kind of? But no. What is happening is that the top standard of living keeps going up and up. Like Warren Buffet said, even John D. Rockefeller could not live how ordinary people do today. The problem is that even with all the advancements in technology that have allowed us unprecedented standards of living, the goalposts of what is “enough” keep moving, and we keep clamoring to follow. The man behind the curtain is doing an incredible job making us dissatisfied, fearful, and climbing all over each other to try and “win” and outperform others. This is also causing a lot of environmental destruction and devastation, not the other way around.

The best way forward is that we opt out en masse and push back and say no. Instead, we do what we need to get by and put our energy into helping others and taking care of the land.

But I know that will not happen, because history only keeps repeating itself and humans are imperfect and will be until the end. El mundo es como es. [/quote]
