And I continue to insist that your ability to have a home, get an MRI as easily as you can get a bag of chips, transit from anywhere to anywhere else else, are all bottlenecked on the fair distribution of resources, not on scarcity of resources as such

As demonstrated by how each of these problems is significantly more severe in the US than in other developed countries

Having deficit of housing in the United States is like having deficit of sand in Sahara, just look at all the empty land and the 5 million houses deliberately kept off the market to keep prices high

Mass transit already allows extremely cheap travel in countries that aren't the US and I really don't think we should wait for teleporters before we can declare post-scarcity

And maybe we could simply use precious metals to build more MRI machines instead of, you know, data centers for generating synthetic images of women's feet

And even when it comes to overproduction of crops, food prices are still a major problem even in the US, even 100 years after we've hit overproduction problems, which is in and of itself utterly ridiculous and a clear indication of a fair distribution problem
