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
only if you’re approaching it from a really wealthy perspective
I disagree, I’m viewing it as someone whose family was living paycheck to paycheck in a developed nation. I’ve been poor, and my family has been poor. Some of my extended family are still poor… entirely due to their own failings. While I am much wealthier now I’m also generally frugal outside of a couple of hobbies.
Worldwide poverty is not the result of individuals ‘failing’ to share with their neighbours. Its not even a consumerist problem.
Ask yourself why some countries have been able to go from poor and undeveloped to wealthy developed nations, and others have failed.
It is an institutional problem stemming from those countries Governments, either due to conflict, corruption, lower economic freedom (ability to own, move and sell property, goods and labour), low trust in institutions and poor policies.
In only a few cases do we see outside drivers of conflict and natural disaster setting back these countries… they are the exception and not the rule.
Yeah I’ve read it before and 60m2 living space for 4 people is tiny, the clothing allocation is on the low end depending on work and climate and you didn’t include the number of times per week they say a person would shower… which was 2 times.
The water allocated really doesn’t go as far as you’d think. Most efficient showers are 9L/minute. Then you have your drinking water, clothes washing, food prep, cleaning, dishwashing… plants, pets. 50L doesn’t go far.
100kg of clothes washing a year is disgustingly low btw
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
Oh cool. Glad they provided a linked source that we can’t read.
Images of text posts still suck.
It literally took 5 seconds to find it
On one hand, thanks for finding it?
On the other, OC here ain’t wrong
Neither statement is incorrect. Not sure why anyone is bothered enough about this to down vote it.
I’ve read this before and the proposed ‘decent living standards’ will likely leave a lot to be desired.
… And?
We can always give a little more. Plus what do you think the other 70% is doing?

they could have shared nothing at all, other people are often nice enough to search and post a link in the comments
