HN is full of people who fit the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" stereotype perfectly. Droves of developers sure that one day their SaaS site will make them rich, that one day they'll sell their side-project to google.

We managed to solve the issue of "everyone needs water & electricity" by making them government services (or in some locales, private services required to service everyone). It's not a perfect system but it's certain
