Long as we also depopulate the planet 50% it'll be fine tbh.
With 50% the economic production if resources were split fairly everyone could have an okay QOL.
Now imagine that but also with less people. Everyone would have great QoL. Maybe we could produce even less, pollute less...
It could shrink a fuckload more than 50% and I think it will.
Yeah, the secondary effects of a drop of that magnitude are going to be catastrophic.
Millions of people dead. Wars popping up everywhere. Hoarding on an industrial scale.
And it won't take 45 years to start, either.
