      Why? Reduced headcount = reduced stress on resources. The key is acknowledging specifically where the population has capped, and meeting the needs of those where it hasn’t. Also increasing the availability of immigration to smooth these spikes and transitions.

      (I am not advocating eugenics or classical overpopulation myths. Only recognizing that if we were in a situation where population was going to say, double, we would have different concerns in 100 years.)

          They said what happens NEXT so in the headline, the population caps, THEN the NEXT happens.
