I felt we had the best chance of surviving this worldwide mass migration with a minimum of upset. I was clearly wrong:-(

I know I told this story on TMF I worked as a magazine photogs assistant. The team I was with spent a month in the interior of Mexico in the very early 1980's. We interviewed top people in finance, industry, science, arts, education....

One night at dinner our team's writer, Selwa 'Lucky' Roosevelt, reminded the table that the AVERAGE age of Mexican males at the time was 10 yrs old. The implication of that bit of data was, in light of the poverty, density of cities, lack of work, was sobering.

I realized that most of the poor, rapidly reproducing nations were on the same track; they were cranking out more people than they could maintain. Those poor folks would be migrating toward wealth.

Theories that education and technology would somehow minimize the impact are interesting but .... here we are.

Trump's billionaire boy toy says the planet can handle twice the population even as he cheers on mass deportations of POCs while importing white racists.

Support planned parenthood? Support environmentalism? Or are we just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
