According to Wikipedia, "the world population ... was estimated by the United Nations to have exceeded eight billion in mid-November 2022. It took around 300,000 years of human prehistory and history for the human population to reach a billion and only 218 years more to reach 8 billion."

There are PLENTY of people in the world. Some of them need to get off my lawn. Grrr.

Tell that to Japan and Korea. They missed the memo.

They need to learn to convive with others to increase immigration, or fix their system but that's harder tho

Korea isn't as bad as Japan when it comes to their immigration. But somehow Korea is even worse birth rate than Japan.

I think you'll notice both of those places have very low birth rates these days. Almost like people don't enjoy being crammed in like sardines and having to compete in the workplace like rats fighting over the last rotting morsels.
