The Unrealized Horrors of Population Explosion

There's a huge hole in your logic: countries where law is upheld already have reproduction rate lower than needed to stabilize.

And most of overpopulation is in countries where law is... episodic.

Imagine "tax penalties" in Kongo or Nigeria where people live off ground on less than 2$/day. Funny.

That's why I inserted the clause "forced sterilization". How do you stop someone from having a family of 5-7 children who's dirt poor, uneducated and believes it's part of their culture to be "prosperous" through progeny?

You are trying to solve a non-existent problem.

Not only is that pointless, your solution wouldn't even work if the problem did exist.

You clearly have not lived in Africa if you think it's a non-existent problem.
