I kinda went on a little research spree on economics this afternoon but at one point I figured it’s probably good to know if it’s possible for, say, at least 98% of people on earth to live a happy fulfilled life at all.
I know there’s plenty of people who’d be more than happy to have literally nothing more than a house, food and water, but that still leaves a whole lot of people who want other things in life.
Do we have any metrics or data on wether the earth can sustain roughly 8 billion humans?
Ah yes labor must exist in the context of wealth generation…
I’m just saying average Americans, the comfortable class, exist on the backs of millions of global workers living in poverty.
The claim that everyone can live like a fat American isn’t ecologically sustainable.
