Half of the population still lives in just 7 countries: China, India, the U.S., Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria and Brazil. India's population could surpass China's any day.

But don't bum out:
"In many ways, demographic trends globally indicate that life is improving. We're living longer, thanks to declining child and maternal mortality, cures for deadly diseases, improved health care and other factors.
Extreme poverty has declined and income inequality between countries has largely lessened over the past 25 years, according to the U.N.
The share of people living in extreme poverty — less than $2 a day — has fallen from 44% in 1974 to 10%, according to data from GapMinder."

Alan, it's stories like this one that always make me think of the observer effect, which in physics holds that the act of observation exerts an influence on the thing observed. It would be interesting if all 8 billion of us could focus on one thing at the same time sometime just to see what happens.

Wow.
It's called English doolittle. It's America's language.
Since you're such a true American, after all your years and all your "world travels" you really should try to learn it. Especially if you're going to try to pontificate with it.
This is called Swingin' Like Kingman...

Democrats were able to pass the cares act, inflation reduction act which addresses climate change, pact act, chips and science act, reauthorized the violence against women act, American Rescue plan, and an infrastructure law.
Maybe you're willfully ignorant?

Biden's handling of the war in Ukraine has been a master peace in exposing Russia's paper Tiger of an Army. They were supposed to be the super power, where did all that Russian defense money go to? Straight into Putin's pocket. That should be the propaganda we should be pushing to the Russian people, where did your defense money go? This is why your children are dying, the blood is all over Putin's hands. Fuck their messing with elections, free our trolls to take out the leader with our own propaganda campaign

I didn't raise this in my previous post because I wanted to address domestic issues, since Doolittle expressed concern about "Illegal people " here in the states. However, the Biden administration's handling of the Ukraine war may be the most important aspect of his presidency.
You won't hear Republicans speak too loudly about this. Afterall, many Republicans, and their supporters, were rooting for Russia early on.

I really hope that Biden
I really hope that Biden addresses immigration over the next few years and shows the world that Republicans want absolutely nothing to change. They love the crises, the fund raising, and the votes they get, but they don't want to do shit about it. How do we know this. Florida legislature that is 70% Republican had the chance to pass E-Verify which is system in place to verify if your employees are legal to work. You combine that with fines for companies that hire people who aren't eligible to work and you cut off a major incentive. Did they pass it. That would be a big NO.
The Democrats aren't blameless here either. Asylum laws have to change. Right now you can claim asylum for domestic violence. We should actively work to stop domestic violence around the world but giving asylum to all victims of domestic violence probably means there are about a billion people eligible to immigrate to the US. That doesn't work.
The left ignores this whole problem at their peril, because with global warming it will only get worse and we have already seen Russia use it as a tool to foment political instability. A very simple statement from the left that we can't be open to everyone would go a long way.

^Racket, what is your issue with this event?
Is Putin's absence upsetting you?
Buck up, Racket, you get to hear from Mike Pence, Benjamin Netanyahu, and several others.
The New York Times today unveiled a pre-eminent lineup of speakers for its annual DealBook Summit on Nov. 30. The event will be hosted by Andrew Ross Sorkin, Times columnist and DealBook founder and editor at large. Sorkin just won an Emmy Award for outstanding live interview for an interview conducted and broadcast at the summit last year.
The full-day event will feature a group of today’s top business and policy leaders on a single stage, live in New York City’s Appel Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center. With a focus on the historic changes taking place in America and around the world, Sorkin and his guests will explore the most newsworthy topics of the day through a long-term lens across business, policy and culture.
This year’s event will be a return to an in-person experience. Selected conversations will be streamed live on nytimes.com for both local and global audiences.
Throughout the day, attendees will hear from speakers such as:
Eric Adams, New York City mayor
Sam Bankman-Fried, FTX C.E.O.
Shou Chew, TikTok C.E.O.
Larry Fink, BlackRock chairman and C.E.O.
Reed Hastings, Netflix founder and co-C.E.O.
Andy Jassy, Amazon president and C.E.O.
Van Jones, CNN host, author and Dream.Org founder
Scarlett Lewis, Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement founder and mother of Sandy Hook shooting victim, Jesse
Mike Pence, 48th vice president of the United States and author of “So Help Me God”
Benjamin Netanyahu, leader of the opposition and former prime minister of Israel
Priscilla Sims Brown, Amalgamated Bank president and C.E.O.
Secretary Janet L. Yellen, U.S. Department of the Treasury
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine
Mark Zuckerberg, Meta founder, chairman and C.E.O.
“We’re thrilled to be returning to an in-person gathering this year, convening the major power brokers and innovators who have been the cornerstone of the DealBook Summit year after year,” said Sorkin. “Every year, we bring together the most consequential people at the intersection of business, policy and culture that are impacting society. The conversations this year will address the complicated, turbulent global landscape and seek to find solutions for the future of business, tech, policy and more.”
