Could be a shorter blackout.
Would that mean the fragile system is getting less fragile?
PS
If the planet is a finite element in the "population equation" (and it is), isn't it logical to curtail the cattle from eating and **** the place to its own detriment?
I liken the notion of an individual life being so precious to the printing press.
When literacy was scarce and books were hand-scribed, it was nearly sacrilegious to destroy a book.
Then printing presses churned out more and more stuff. Precious is longer what any book is.
When primitives roamed and hunter/gathered a subsistence life, each life was more "precious" to help maintain a population.
Now that is a long dead problem. Each life being oh, so precious is a quaint notion.
It isn't difficult to see some people not giving a **** about what amounts to paperback people crowding the library.
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
