Doubt it. Population control laws are too unpopular and anybody over ~300 is probably very rich thanks if nothing else, due to the magic of compound interest. Since rich = powerful, it is unlikely that any population control measure would hold up well.

- stcredzero 18y agoI was supporting your point. What made it sarcastic, the use of "Right?"
- Hexstream 18y agoIf lots of people get "rich and powerful" all of a sudden, then the criteria for being considered "rich and powerful" will go up.
