The root cause

[ebacon]

Overpopulation. What a joke. Of course humans will point at others with indignation and proclaim that they are the problem.

The problem could never be, gasp, a banking system that creates money out of thin air and loans it to anyone who claims they can pay back with interest. It would be interesting to look at the population growth chart and time align it with changes in monetary policy.

IIRC scientists claim that the construction of clean municipal water supplies and sewers were the biggest drivers in population growth.
