So...what happened?

[JWG223]

Just checking back in.

Have we figured out what happened, yet?

Yes, population density increase, and more cooks stirring the pots (laws/regulations/people doing stupid **** resulting in more of the same).

Another theory for you. The Laws of Darwin has been circumvented by the government. Educated people are having fewer children because they are so expensive. Uneducated people are having more because they are subsidized by the educated working people. In nature the stupid, slow, and lazy were weeded out by nature and died. No more. The government feeds, houses, and provides health care to them now. At the expense of the educated working population which are having fewer children because they pay for everyone's folly. It's just a theory but seems top be holding true.

Exactly right.

Read this. You forget how difficult the simpler times were and how much time people spent doing unnecessary tasks.
