This is a good example of what leftists are talking about when we say that reducing the problem pollution and waste to the consuming habits of the average person, or (as often happens) specifically targeting the lives of people who are already among the poorest and most marginalized, is a fundamental error.
Here’s a man who is, relatively to virtually almost everyone else on the planet, rich, privileged and not lacking in social power, who can still be jailed on the wishes of corporate executives in the name of preserving profit by greatly reducing recycling/restoration of old computers.
Unless the sort of overpopulation you’re talking about is an overpopulation of Microsoft executives, maybe start paying attention to the actual forces driving these problems instead of jumping straight to eugenics.
