Cuba shows why having a smaller population is better

Due o the US embargo Cuba is running out of fuel, water everything.

Its population in 1953 was 5.8 Million, then 11 Million in 2005 and due to a massive emigration wave 9.5 Million in 2026.

But thats still 3.8 Million more than in 1953. If Cuba has just 8 Million people, or 1.5 Million less, the resource shortage would be far more managable.

Our massive populations are maintained by a perfectly running resource extraction adn delivery system. If thy system gets disrupted by just a few weeks, the consequences become dire. By a few months? Catastrophic.

Smaller populations that need less resources are therefore better in order to survive times of crisis.
