I know that Bill Gates is a wealthy man, but he's just one man. Will his foundation be able to get the world population level up to a sustainable level before it's too late?

4. Yeah, I mean you need a certain amount of worker bees to keep
wages suppressed and wars going on and on and on.

6. worker bees don't keep wages suppressed

a surplus population (or "reserve army of labor") does that. surplus people are unable to contribute much to society, but they usually aren't drains on it either.
