    That’s existed long before capitalism. Capitalism is a huge stain on existence, but life has always required resources to sustain.

      And for all of its ills, capitalism solved scarcity. There’s more than enough to house and feed everyone on the planet. And yet the vast majority of us are still, at best, dedicating our lives to feeding the beast in the name of feeding ourselves. With many living in abject poverty, on the edge of starvation.

      It’s no longer a problem of resource availability. It’s now a matter of resource allocation.
