the reason this could happen is because the white men keep feeding the black people in africa who couldnt natively sustain themselves traditionally, causing them to over breed themselves into an unsustainable quantity,
africans simply can not maintain the population they have today because they never traditionally have organized farming or food production.
they are not even hunter gatherers, more like scavenger gatherers who steal carcasses of what predatory animals have killed.

“It’s spooky. Thousands of banks are underwater,” said Professor Amit Seru, a banking expert at Stanford University. “Let’s not pretend that this is just about Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic. A lot of the US banking system is potentially insolvent.”

Globally, we are observing not only a decrease in the population of individual insects but also a collapse in insect biodiversity. The primary factors contributing to this alarming trend include increased land use for agricultural and construction purposes, climate change, and the introduction of invasive species.

2023-05-04 at 12:31 PM UTCPrivate Security Guards Are Replacing Police Across America
The rise of private security is both driven by income inequality—wealthy people have more things to protect and money to spend to protect them—and exacerbates it. For every Neil Patel who decides to shell out $750 a day for round-the-clock armed guards, there are thousands of business owners and civilians who have to make do with what their taxes can buy. The Los Angeles Police Department is not meeting its staffing goals, for instance, but its neighbor, tony Beverly Hills, Calif., has hired two security firms whose employees patrol the city in cars or on foot as “an extension of the police,” says Todd Johnson, CEO of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce.
“Private security is going to take over everything,” says Boyer, the Philadelphia armed guard. He adds that a father recently hired him to take his two children to the movies, armed with a shotgun, to make sure they were safe. -

Originally posted by the man who put it in my hood Theft has existed throughout human history and exists as a form of economic participation, I wouldn't go as far to call it an "industry" but because of the hyper capitalist world we live in it can mimic a secondary or tertiary industry.
There are organized retail crime rings that the police use to justify their existence, these operations can make millions of dollars at the expensive of private industries. There is a belief that it's "okay" to steal from multinational corporations because LOL FUCK THE SYSTEM but those stores are owned and operated by local people in your community. You shouldn't need to justify theft, yes fuck the system but also fuck those people in your community for being too slow to catch you.

Private industry does not want this, they don't want to pay for security guards and alarm systems. Also hot items like razors and pills being locked behind a counter is annoying for the consumer and employee, I have dealt with this issue many times while trying to buy 100 bottles of cough medicine stuck behind a forcefield.
What happens when you get caught?
Anti theft technology is improving every day, I completely believe that technology can entirely replace the basic issue of grabbing an apple off the shelf and running out of the store. People try to hack the Amazon store and "steal" from it to defeat the technology, we are clearly at the very basic stages of this but I believe that private enterprise and technology can easily replace a reliance on regulation and criminal enforcement for theft.
I believe it would cost less overall to replace the system of security guards having to call the police and the court having to convict the person for theft with a system of private companies that have the legal right to enforce theft how they choose in their business, which a lot of them do by just banning the person, telling them to fuck off or they will call the cops.
Instead of the police they would be threatened with deadly violence in that situation which also leads to a liberation of weapons ownership and operation in a private business. It leads to many things which nobody wants which is why nobody talks about this.
But the cost of theft to the system is one that can't and isn't ignored. It's a top priority for business owners who in recent times have had to deal with criminals that are bolder and more desperate. Can we keep going on like this forever? It's not just retail theft either but industrial theft like jumping over a fence into a yard to yoink all the copper. Thieves are merciless and the law does no deter them.

Their scale—that of carnage—seems to speak to our modern ecological anxiety, rage, and grief; mass mortality events are material evidence of anthropogenic apocalypse, an unignorable and immediate tally of the ravages we’ve sown. And they will likely become more common as heat waves, droughts, disease outbreaks, storms, fires, and other environmental disturbances grow more frequent and deadlier. News coverage of die-offs, however, fails to acknowledge all we don’t understand about mass death. In reality, we’re nowhere close to grasping the repercussions these cascades of death have on ecosystems.
