I understand not being able to spend more time on Steemit. I am under the same schedule limitations with other non-computer things that must be done.
Increasing resources is hard to do. Petroleum is harder to find, deeper down, in smaller quantities, and more expensive to extract. Easily mined resources are being exhausted and are more expensive to get to. Climate changes affect growing conditions, reduce crop yields, and require new land to be taken for farmland, doing more environmental damage. It getting to be an increasingly difficult problem. Still, no one wants to consider slowing population growth to decrease demand.
Interesting, is it not?
