> Until we solve some fundamental limiters like limitless free energy, there will always be more demand for support and aid than there will be support and aid available. This means that those providing aid and support, just like venture capital and private equity, need to pick and choose where to provide support to maximize the utility from that support.
This is a ridiculous statement.
We literally helped rebuild Europe and Japan after WWII while growing our economy. Are you saying there are less energy and resources available 70 years later? Or that we would have been better off letting Europe fall into another post-war depression?
The sad irony is that practically every economy that we helped rebuild in that time now provides meaningful services for all of their citizens, including education, housing, healthcare, infrastructure, food, and protection from natural disasters. America has enough to provide basic services to everyone, but chooses not to based on deeply flawed morality excused with insane economic theory: socialism for the rich, and capitalism for everyone else.
