I just don't buy it, there is so much waste and the gap between what the 0.001% have and everyone else is so big. I've played enough simcity to know it's tough and takes planning, but you can balance the needs of everyone and not go bust. Many people are coming to realize that the consumer wealth dream being sold to them does not actually contain comfort, satisfaction, or personal fulfillment. Greed, corruption, and willful ignorance/incuriousness however are a cancer on the system that makes for a race condition that keeps us from actively investing in that balance. It's hard not to be apocalyptic, but it's even crazier to think that our collective consciousness can't figure out a way to arrest that cancer before we all end up eating jellyfish out of acidified plastic oceans supplemented with snowpiercer cockroach bricks. The corruption rife ganges river sanitation project[1] is a great example of a massive opportunity to increase quality of life for a staggering amount of people sucked dry financially by said cancer. There are ways to NOT do that. We have the ability to figure out how. We also at this moment, still might have enough time.
