        Seeing the chart that was posted from it, only if you’re approaching it from a really wealthy perspective. Keep in mind this is for literally every human on the planet-many of whom are sharing and still starving.

        You don’t need a stove and oven and microwave and toaster and air fryer and induction cooktop and two and a half cars per person and the bicycle you don’t use or the exercise equipment and the slap chop and the ninja or the fucking second fridge in the garage where you keep all the sports equipment that’s degrading every day into uselessness that never gets you know, used. God forbid you share with your neighbors. They might have cooties. Have to buy your own shit, brand new, full retail, with the bullshit insurance package

        I’ve been living on my bicycle for a few months now, and honestly. What a single person actually needs is so vanishingly small it’s disgusting we let anyone go hungry or cold.

        It’s odd that schools and hospitals are listed by area and not capabilities though. I don’t give a shit if it’s a golf course sized hospital, I want them to have supplies, equipment, and people trained to properly use them.

        Too hard to put an easy number on? What stats are disparate in a plastic surgery suite vs an inner city gunshot wound floor? Tbh, I’d rather be treated at the latter, they’ve had more practice

            That’s only 30% of our production and also assumes 8 and a half billion people. As we’ve seen in developed countries the population will decline and stabilize around 4-5 billion. So accounting for future development and technological advancement we could all live wonderful lives

                “The people doing the production.” Which ones are those? The ones mining resources for far less than this amount? The people living well above this standard are largely doing it off the back of exploiting people living far below this standard.
