On the other hand, it might be wise to consider buying some VW stock when they eventually pull out of the nosedive.

Reading the statistic makes me wonder how on earth, literally, are we going to manage 10 billion people by 2050 (That's the max capacity the world's agriculture can sustain). Currently there are 7.6b and it's already bad enough. Sh*t, I'll still be alive by then in my late 60s. If all goes well lol.
