its full of rare natural resources too though, so thats the dilemma

best way to short it is to start a charity to feed the children, then keep all the profits for yourself (by breaking various financial laws)

and keep in mind agricultural breakthroughs have been a huge part of their population growth two, the worlds growth in fact (crop yield per acre has multiplied by 6 or 8 times what it was in 1900, even 1950's for that matter)

the difference is that most other continents are full of people who only have 2-4 kids per couple, but africa and middle east were still having as many kids as possible, since every kid you get is another source of labor on your farm, or commodity to be given away as a dowry, they were so far back technology wise, that kids were essentially a source of income, not a drain on it

just wait for the first big african war to thin out the numbers, or convince everyone you know to stop donating to charities for foreigners, since that just encourages the most poverty stricken populations in the world to have more kids, meaning they need even more charity to live, which if they get will cause even more kids to need feeding, ect, ect

main way to make money is to be an arms dealer in africa, or to siphon profits from a third world charity

best long term bet is to just avoid investing there, because at some point shits gotta hit the fan
which will mean either major internal strife, or mass exoduses from third world nations to their neighbors

actually shorting the euro might be a decent way to, if its a "long term" short

yea, in exchange for feeling good about yourself today for feeding the poor, you get extra poor that you need to feed later, with even more

Locusts is a bit crass, and its not like 100% of poor thirdworlders should be killed, there is real value coming from some of them

but encouraging this exponential burden will eventually come back to bite someone in the ass
