Provisioning decent living standards for 8.5 billion people would require only 30% of current global resource and energy use, leaving a substantial surplus for other social investments.

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.

But the yachts!
