&gt; The basic problem is overpopulation.<p>This is farcical.  The basic problem <i>cannot possibly be</i> overpopulation in a country with as much land per person as the United States of America.<p>There&#x27;s a contradiction here: you want a very, very active economy, but you don&#x27;t want the population required to sustain that economy.<p>You can&#x27;t be rich without servants, and you can&#x27;t have industries without workers.  How do you propose to run tech companies with <i>even fewer</i> people per dollar-of-revenue than they already employ?
