Batteries are not a natural resource though. I have no information how it works currently, but presumedly vendors lock in the devices to only work with certain types of batteries. Please correct me if I'm wrong in this case.

Maybe your problem is judging the quality of your life by ”state statistics.” My recommendation is picking up a philosophy book or two and looking at things from a new angle.

I agree with your first statement. I don't think self-flagellation is useful though and the West is pulling more than their share in global welfare. Your vitriol would be better directed towards, say, Arabian wealthy dictatorships.
