If mold continues to multiply after eating half a piece of cheese, what happens when demand exceeds supply?

If we’re the mold and Earth is the cheese, how many need and/or want how much,
where is half way, who’s got what’s left, who gets cut off when,
who will compete with who for what’s left, and how is who most likely to win?

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency,
the second is war.

Ernest Hemingway

Can mold collectively prevent the procreation of a larger generation
that can’t be fed by the remaining cheese?
