So what do you think Vulcans would think of a species that imposes living on people with a very poor standard of ever
decreasing life quality . While millions of young lives get taken through a lack of resources ?

in your judgment, how exactly would logic save their society from having members in financial failure?

^^Hmmmmm.... :chin: perhaps the lack of boom and bust would also even out the distribution of wealth a bit?

Overpopulation is another big one . We live in a world where people have to many kids then the kids blame the banks ( for their financial woes student loans ,housing unaffordable etc etc ) as if the banks brought them into this world under such challenging financial circumstances . ( not that there aren't plenty of mercenary scumbags in the banking sector) . You want to live long and prosper you can't thrash your own planet with overpopulation.

I am confused. Did a "bank" (not a sperm bank, but a financial institution) bring you "into the world"??????
