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 modest of course, but we can get used to it. I can use old computers quite well. :)

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.

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.
