I think the state secretly knows about overpopulation but can't do anything without sounding racist with their own doing. Just look at pictures from the 70's when it was 2 billion people, instead of 7 billion like now. People had all the resources in the world. Now people fight over minimum wage jobs bc we have almost 4x as many people on the same resources. A billionaire could spend all his money but it only buys resources, so he'd pay 10x as much for the same resource halfway through theoretically, could be 2x or 100x. But that means the consumers also pay 2x-100x the price. SO any product of that resource would be highly inflated.
