It’s never been a question if we could do it. We just straight up won’t. (or rich people won’t, don’t think many of us would care that much)
It’s a no-brainer, if a person’s income were limited in such a way as to allow him a comfortable and comfortable life, there would be enough to provide this life for all humans. El problema son este 1% de assholes avariciosos que disponen de un 50% de toda la riquezas del mundo y queson los mismos que influyen o son los que hacen los leyes para protegerse.
It’s modest of course, but we can get used to it. I can use old computers quite well. :)
But the yachts!
Definition of decent living standard used in the paper.
Specifically from their table:
If I had to superimpose my feelings on top of this, I’d increase dwelling area to 80 sqm and laptops/computers to 2 per household. 🥲
Even 80 sqm is cramped for the 4 people they suggest.
If they could double the floorspace, water heating, and computing, i honestly would maintain my current standard of living. Well, except presumably with meat cut out of my diet which isn’t really a loss, I’d just have to replan my diet.
