Is 8 billion people headed toward 10 or 11 billion sustainable? Does capitalism models need to be revised from never-ending growth dependent on never-ending population growth need to be revised to account for other values? Is unfettered capitalism destroying the planet?

Yes to all those issues and more. What a (bad) joke to worry about population ‘decline.’
More and more people to sale to and make a dollar.
What is the baseline here? Wouldn’t it be nice to go back to a population of even 50 years ago? Better for climate change and the entire planet.
