billionaires constantly complain about overpopulation

and some complain about underpopulation

either a bunch of people die or a bunch get poor and either way one half of these complaints goes away

if even the winners of the game want it repealed why not

it could be fun

and it worked for the ussr, with only a loss of a few million lives and the gain of millions

this is also true for china

net gain for communist china in citizens

causing new people to be born doesn't cancel out mass murder from a moral perspective or from the perspective of what kind of future the people now alive are likely to find fun

you can git clone http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/pavnotes2.git and run git pull every half hour if you want. a git pull when there are no updates involves two http transactions sending a total of 486 bytes, it's a lot more lightweight than an rss fetch
