Funniest take on this I've read in a long time.
The population level of every species is self-limiting. Crank through your resources and you're toast. It's either fewer babies or more people dying horrible deaths. Or both, as the economic dislocation of the former leads to the latter. It is natural for any species to slow its reproductive rate when there's a shit show on the horizon.
I'm with you. Ya gotta laugh. If you don't you will surely cry.
