Many want to claim that population is a crisis.  It’s not a crisis and never will be.  Any claim of such is fictitious.  The overlords can act like they’re solving it if they get enough people to believe it.  The quality of life will be reduced along with the population.  The quality is what it is because there are enough people to divide the labor.  If population is reduced, less people exist to divide up the labor.  Don’t overlook how population can be reduced.

The most effective means for increasing the quality of life is for the population to engage in production.  Having a class of parasites doesn’t increase living standards.  Not even a little bit.  That class can only reduce the quality.  Having the population engage in production will multiply the output.  In turn, the quality of life will rise.  A class of parasites will reduce the output.  In turn, the quality of life will fall.

As J.B. Say said, “if the government reduces that revenue by the pressure of intolerable taxation, forcing the subjects to sacrifice part of his capital, and consequently diminishing the aggregate means of subsistence and reproduction possessed by the community, such a government not only imposes a preventative check on further procreation, but may be fairly said to commit downright murder.”

The real crisis is the ever-growing class of parasites.  Quality of life depends on the level of production.  Production can fall if the division of labor falls.  This can fall in various ways.  Reducing the population artificially, which we are told is a problem.  Removing people from the productive work force and inserting them into the parasite class.  They also use mercantilist policies.  All three are common and being pushed nonstop.

Quality of life is directly proportional to division of labor.  If that’s reduced, quality goes down with it.  The overlords are trying to reduce it in multiple ways.  They won’t give up.  If one campaign isn’t popular, they’ll try again with different messaging.  It’s more appropriate to say, the overlords are destroying the quality of life.  Reducing is too gentle of a word, and doesn’t accurately describe what’s happening.
