7 Billion People and Growing

What's the earth's population?  I think it's about 7.5 billion people and growing exponentionally.  Each person needs an income whether they generate it themselves or they are dependent upon somebody else's income.  Mother Earth is suffocating from all the people and toxins draining her.  We all talk like we want to save her, but we're not.  The only truly environmentally "sustainable" job is farming and living off the grid.  That's not happening and it's not going to happen.  Only a small fraction of the population lives in genuine harmony with nature.  The rest of us are total hypocrites addicted to our modern conveniences while loathing their impact.

What do we do with the majority of the population?  How are they going to earn incomes to feed themselves and their families as the population swells while resources dwindle?

Well, for jobs we've created only totally meaningless bureaucratic jobs that are mandated by government regulations.  We've created form filler-out-ers and agencies with complex departments with even more form filler-out-ers with more bureaucracy and regulations  that clog up anything anybody is actually trying to accomplish that actually produces a tangible end product or result.

But wait.  We can't really produce anything because production is harmful to the environment.   There's a complex law for  everything it seems.  We can't even tie our own shoes without some ordinance telling us how to do it and a reporting requirement that ultimately gets ignored and filed away when violated.  We can't actually measure anything because there are so many variables in the formula that constantly change. Meanwhile the population continues to grow.  Mother Earth is tired.

How do we continue to find work for 7 billion form-filler-outers?   Work for google?
