Thats the entire point. Talk about running out of resources is piffle as technology moves on. See shale in the US as a great example.
And then there are those to thick to grasp a very basic concept.

Business cycle yes, economics no.
A very basic concept is 6 million people worldwide vs 7.5 billion. More than 1000 times as many.
At our current rate of consumption its estimated that the earth can support 400 million people.
In the last 3 years the chinese have used more concrete than the us has used in the entire 20th century - substantially more.
And yet we are better fed than ever.
Malthus used to bang on about this. Malthus was wrong.
Actually we are fed on a grain based diet that is deleterious to our health and is leading to terrible levels of childhood obesity and adulthood morbid obesity.
The way we are achieving this is by unsustainable means that is stripping the soil to the point that it resembles beach sand. There is no life in it at all.
We are stripping more and more forested land as we progressively kill land via overuse and salinity
Its a pyramid scheme. A ponzi ripoff.
You sir - are either a shill or an ignoramus
Interesting to compare points of view, thats why I do it on issues, chalk & cheese, e.g anything to do with politics anywhere.

"Labor frontbencher Joel Fitzgibbon says the party is losing the support of the blue-collar workers it was 'born to represent', as the ALP’s standing among men languishes at its lowest level since the final months of Julia Gillard’s prime ministership."
“Labor is losing the demographic it was born to represent: aspirational blue-collar workers,” Mr Fitzgibbon said. “Policy development and messaging must now focus on winning it back.”
"Labor senator Kim Carr said the party needed to junk identity politics if it wanted to win back blue-collar workers."
“There remains a problem for Labor with blue-collar families,” Senator Carr said. “The assumption that tertiary-educated people are going to vote Labor will compensate for the loss of support in other demographics needs to be viewed with considerable caution.’’

So you think that the LNP are held to the same standard as Labor? Interesting.
It's not "identity politics" that lost SE Queensland."Labor frontbencher Joel Fitzgibbon says the party is losing the support of the blue-collar workers it was 'born to represent', as the ALP’s standing among men languishes at its lowest level since the final months of Julia Gillard’s prime ministership."

It was the Coalition telling retirees Labor were going to steal their savings.

You keep telling yourself that, while we quiet Australians continue to reject "progressive" socialism at the polls.
Its almost like you have completely wiped the overwhelming win of the crippled ssm vote out of your tiny little conservative minds isnt it.
Must be fun denying the lowest end of the socio-economic scale basic and simple rights. That is what the current Government is doing.
See I doubt that too. All those Town hall meetings played an import ant role and it's something they are continuing to do

Empathy training says it all really...
See thats the thing with christians that need that book to tell them whats right
Then go ignore what the book has to say anyway.
If you need a book and an imaginary friend watching over you to tell you whats right and wrong - you are lost anyway....
!0 years ago Kevin Rudd and Labor were two years into the first term.
Already, Rudd and luvvies had destroyed two Opposition Leaders - Nelson and Turnbull.
The third, newly elected leader Tony Abbott, was universally despised and derided by luvvies and their fellow travellers
The Rudd/Labor verities were :
1. Opening the northern borders to the PEOPLE SMUGGLER trade.
2. Man made climate change SCARE.
3. Protection for CFMEU.
Over the next decade as LOTO, PM and then backbencher Abbott politically destroyed them comprehensively.
And the resulting problem for left wing politics in Australia is that 10 years, 5 prime ministers and 4 losing elections later they are still dependent on .....
the same.three.verities.
No future can be seen without change. of these policies.

Their biggest problem is the toxic lunatics that support them on social media. Every tweet has me ready to charge down to the voting polls to vote for anything but them. Utter s**t stains.

Idiots on Twitter is a bizarre way to decide who you’re voting for.
Twitter just seems to be a breeding ground for activists, mid/far-left idealists and their mid/far-right provocateurs.
Abbott didn't really stop the boats FWIW.
The main problem with immigration was always the 'tarmac invasion' anyway, which neither the ALP nor the LNP have really addressed.
That's literally what post election analysis indicates.
Also, no one but a handful of cranks think Labor are a socialist party.

Wonder if OP still thinks there's a problem with the left.
Keeping in mind Labor are barely left anyway.

Wrong.
Just another one of the myths that stops the Left from growing up and making rational decisions.
