I am reminded of the end of "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court", where the main character and the others with him are dying from the pestilence caused by the thousands of dead peasants rotting against the electric fence they had built to slaughter the horde attacking their fortress. An allegorical reminder that things do not always go as planned, even for the "smartest" folks in the room. Or on the planet, as the case may be. Gotta love it. A few thousand(at most) people in their ivory towers, thinking they will simply eliminate 6.5 billion of us, who mostly have a lot of will to live, and are pretty damn good at making sure we do...
They say the globalists want to reduce the world's population from 7 billion to 500 million. I can't seem to do the math on how much of a percent reduction that is. I know if you cut it in half that's a 50 percent reduction, right?
A simple way to get percentage is to divide the smaller number by the bigger number. The decimal is your percentage.
What concerns me the most is a thread by people purporting to be the ones who will survive calamity to keep the human race a viable species, and some of us cannot correctly do basic mathematics!
i dink its speled matmatics, and tu get da percent by multipliciting da too numers togeta.
Not only cant i do matmatics buut i cant evn spel verry gooodd
Your composition and punctuation sucks, too! You must be a real survivalist! Ya make me laugh, for sure. And that skill alone will be a worthy one in dark times...

This is funny for those in our age group...but it's scary what the snowflakes / smartphone crowd has (not) been taught! Just go over to Work and Employment and get a look at the results....
My wife was in a classroom with people studying to be financial advisers. There were about 8 students in the classroom and the teacher said that with the income tax rate at 31% if their clients wanted to clear $100K after taxes they needed to earn $131K.
My wife said wouldn't the number be closer to $150K? The teacher started yelling at her that she should pay attention since the tax rate was 31% and not 50%. None of the students said a thing.
And that's the problem. The morons who postulate this garbage always see themselves as being among the chosen. if they really believed in a massive global population reduction, they'd lead by example and throw themselves off a bridge or hang themselves in the name of population reduction. But they never do.
Many choose not to have kids, which has the same long-term effect on the total population level and does not require suicide.
Put away all the calculators. Absolutely no need for them and can do this calculation faster in your head.
7billion to 500m = roughly leaves 1/14 of the original amount.
In percentage terms this 1/14 is , not using calculator , around 7.15.
So the reduction would be about 92.85 or so.
