The real answer to that is, dear firstworlders, you want too much and you think you deserve it. For the entirety of history people lived in big families exactly because they couldn’t afford all the shit on their own, the couldn’t get more houses out of nowhere or easily get more land. The shithole countries live like that right now and nobody says I’m gonna stop reproducing because I can’t decide whether I want a steamdeck or like a child crib. Because of this mindset we do actually have the global warming, and no amount of banned (but not really) plastic straws will fix that.

You want infinite expansion of wealth? Go to Mars.

Yeah… so, the record high inequality is just nothing to think about, because suddenly we don’t deserve to own a house for one life’s worth of work…? What a joke take
I wonder what would slaves or serfs would say about your record high inequality.
