As mentioned in other comments, you can't escape scarcity. If everyone became a millionaire overnight, would there be enough mansions for everyone to buy the next morning? How about PS5s? How about steaks? It's wishful thinking and politicization to pretend otherwise.
- serverholic 4y agoScarcity will always exist. However, the system we are in doesn’t exactly make the best use of resources. Some things are artificially scarce, like diamonds. Other things are made to be cheap and disposable like clothing so you’ll buy more in the future. And other things are made proprietary so that you’ll have to buy multiple of the same thing. A simple example of the last point is modern consoles. PS5s and XBoxes are basically PCs at this point. Yet they are made to be incompatible and minimally upgradeable.
