6.9 billion souls

[WhySoSerious?]

The world population tops 6.9 billion this week.

That's 3 babies per second. That's over 180 babies per minute!

7 billion in a few more weeks from that!

Sad where the most growth is too.

Don't blame me, none of them are mine.

It is tragically self limiting. Just give it time.

Oddly, the growth rate is at it's all time lowest, so I should not
really be alarmed that the world population has doubled since the year of
my birth and will be 9B if I make it to 90. Starting from 3B in 1960.

Yeah, major victories for the anti-choice fetus-worshipers.

Thanks,

Which means that girls will be valued far more highly. It's the De
Beers gambit.

They will also become a smaller voting block.

Interesting, and also sad, is that, in many countries, the combination
of cheap ultrasound and abortion is increasing the male/female baby
ratio... in some places approaching, sometimes exceeding, 2. That will
have some serious implications, one of which will be lower birth
rates.

Ironic that the feminist goal of freely available abortion is
preferentially killing girls.

I'm tempted to paraphrase Mao on power here, but I'll refrain.

No jobs, plus no women, will mean riots.

Sounds like fun. Bring it on.

That's a pretty negative outlook. An awful lot of energy is expended
by plants, animals and humans to increase reproductive probabilities-
I would guess a 10-20% imbalance in favor of males might help the
economies of those places a fair bit. For example, Indian males might
try to make enough money and gain enough prestige to either compete
for a local gal or import one from another country.

That won't matter once Obama gets his way and the Islamicists win.

I just bought a 32 round magazine for my Beretta. Maybe I'll get a few more.

The Russians already export women.
