Earth’s resources are running out, may run out for good by 2050

@F4M: Can you please stop cluttering the low-content thread with your wacky links?
Freedom4Me73986 please stop posting things from years ago. Unless it is extremely relevant or likely that we might not have seen it, just dont’ post it. Why do you think a 2010 report on rfid from sky news is something that I would like to see ?

Funny you should post the Scheuer videos…

Here’s a little play ‘proof’ I came up with. I doubt it’s useful for anything but I like touching over it in my head. I know it’s not neat.
1a. The way towards profits in a business are guided by cost-accounting and revenue.
1b. The way towards profits in a state agency are guided by increased revenue.

- When society deems that a problem is to be fixed by the state, the state allocates resources toward corresponding agency.
4a. The expansion of business’ clientelle is necessarily fixed to increased satisfaction.
4b. The expansion of State agency is fixed to however important society deems a problem to be.
