We should pay the unemployed to enroll in colleges and universities (not merely subsidize the costs of education), since higher levels of education would ultimately benefit society as a whole.
It depends on whether you agree with Malthus that population growth is inevitable or with Condorcet, who believed that birth control could prevent the consequences of exponential population growth.
If the population continues to grow, so too must the economy, or the share of resources available to each person will shrink. There's really no room for argument on that point.
In what sense was the Roman empire not capitalistic?
The major source of labor in the Roman Empire was slave labor, not wage labor, and the major source of wealth was military conquest rather than commerce.

Walmart isn't a third party. The charges for credit card processing are paid by the merchant.
robots, seriously
Assert your way to a better future!
You can correct for that with a massive tax on births.
Did you mean mofo, or were you trying to pin this one on Muslim Filipinos?
That is justice, though. Both as conceptualized and as realized in modern and historical societies, justice has and does include punishment and even torture. Trying to get "justice" without vengeance or punishment is futile, because these are essential aspects of justice.
Let's just move past justice and ask ourselves what would best serve us in its place.
Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun.
