The piece is a long, confused complaint. Things are the way they are because of what we allow and what is incentivized. Not everything is scarce, but it is good to focus on the scarce things because they're where the profit is. But then the author flitted away to bemoan wealth not alleviating the stress. This is untrue: wealth is both the cause of the distress and the balm against it. "I don't understand, but I am distressed" is a valid feeling. It's just a terrible thesis for an essay.
