Well that's because all of the safety nets in society that keeps us from just letting people die.
Once you remove wolves from the wild, deer populations just explode until they literally destroy the entire area and cause their own extinction (as well as everything around them).
So this is just literal basic biology at work, and proof that human empathy is probably its greatest weakness.
That's exactly what I said. Once you remove the natural balancers to R type, they will always explode to the detriment of themselves and everyone around them.
In human society, this is granting baseline access to food and medical care that would otherwise filter out 80% or so of their children before they reached school age. All of this is provided by tax money instead of direct charity, but its still basic biological functioning with extra steps.
R strategists produce lots of offspring and care for them little, K strategists produce fewer offspring and care for them a lot.
And R's population is exploding while K's is declining. Hmmm...

The Hard R's population, you might say.
