Best method we have found so far. If you want cookie cutter efficient ass state made beds you can move off to the.... Well, every state who has tried has collapsed so you're shit out of luck.
You mean like the still-existing and highly complex gift economies of natives all across the globe that have no homelessness?
Move there then.
- the indigenous economies that I identify with and would be interested in participating in were destroyed by the British 1000 years before I was born.
- I'd rather not be a colonizer in an indigenous economy.
destroyed by the British 1000 years before I was born
You acted like they still existed. In that case my original point still applies.
Those gift economies don't work at scale and you would probably have a significantly worse quality of life if you were born to one.
There are still indigenous economies in the world. The ones that I identify with were destroyed by the British though.
You mean people who sleep on mats on a dirt floor? Sure. Some of us want to lessen our back pain. You do you.
and most children in most places
Come on now, indigenous people exist in the 21st century and have modern amenities. They just also keep their indigenous economies.
And they get those modern amenities how?
How does that matter in the context of fairly distributing goods in a modernized indigenous economy?
Again- a limited labor pool means a limited number of the drug that can be developed. That means that only a limited amount can be distributed, which might not be enough to provide it for everyone who needs it.
Why are you making me repeat myself?
It's obvious that we see labor differently. I don't consider labor to be a commodity, and therefore I don't think any of the concerns you raised about labor shortages are something worth worrying about.
You can't "I don't see labor as a commodity" your way out of scarcity. That's just hilariously absurd.
Literally head in the sand sort of thinking.
Actually, I can. Because I did. On a fundamental level, we disagree about what labor is. Labor is not a commodity. It's treated like a commodity within capitalism, but it's plain and simply not a commodity.
Let's imagine I had 100 rocks. For some reason I have to move them in order to feed everyone.
If I have one person I can move one rock a day.
With two people I can move two rocks.
And so on and so forth.
There is a labor demand - the need to move rocks.
And a labor supply - the number of people you have available to move rocks.
You can't mind game your way out of that. Call it a commodity or not, you still need X people to do Y tasks and the discrepancy between the tasks and the people you have to do them is a measure and very real thing.
Because I did
Arrogance that knows no bounds.
