As long as it is militarily and commercially viable then the number of satellites will continue increasing, regardless of what academics have to say about collision rates. As per usual this is a coordination problem and in case people have not noticed nations are becoming less coordinated and more insular.

And what is your yardstick for measuring this? As far as I can tell this is the opposite of true. It's a popular national news meme but I don't believe it's been measured in any reliable way.
I don't know about whether it is more or less common, but there has been international drama over conjunctions over the last several years

I won't comment on the broader point about how insular countries are becoming, but on this specific topic I'd say that the international reaction to global warming, which appears to be a very similar situation, shows exactly how little action is likely to happen.

You didn't need to use "greatly" here because the suggestion you're offering without being asked is not particularly great or meaningful.
> I think that would greatly aid in your online communications.
I communicate online just fine, thank you, I'm also happy to be an individual and to allow that individuality to be expressed through my communications.
Thanks again for the unwelcome and unnecessary advice. Please don't use your time to police other peoples writing. It's rude.

"True" here is not a boolean, it's the truth of the matter.
The claim is that coordination is decreasing. Calling that "false" might mean coordination is steady. Calling it the "opposite of true" means that coordination is increasing.
