@shaunmmaguire Pretty shocking because if you use rough approximations, North Korea and Israel have existed for the same amount of time yet Israel is somehow more barbaric according to the UN. It would be laughable if it wasn’t open anti-Semitism.

U.S. agricultural dominance can be achieved through improving farming productivity. This would allow for food independence and soft power projection through agricultural exports. There are many opportunities for disruption and improvement. 1/10

Biofuels are inefficient and consume a significant portion of U.S. corn and soybean production. If all U.S. biofuel production was shifted to edible crops, it would generate the annual caloric requirements of 700 million people. 3/10

Seeking to “curb population growth” rather than leaving each family to make their own decisions often results in coercion. Also, the very idea of “overpopulation” is fundamentally misguided.
