To be fair, it’s really cold in Ireland. Radiator heaters don’t do much unless you really crank it up full blast. Then again, I spent almost a year there, alone, in a place with a broken heater and never had sex with anyone.
This is correct. We waste a solid 1/3 of the food we produce and import. And we're nowhere close to maxing out our food production. We just prevent people from having access to it.
erhm actually ☝️ the food is not wasted it is disposed of 🤓 in order to maintain manufactured scarcity which keeps the price high and shareholders happy! 🤑 another win for capitalism
Yes, but don't ignore the issue of logisitics as well. We can't just magic the discarded food to everyone who needs it.
It's also a big problem with the homeless. Yes, we technically have enough places that we could house them. But are all these homes within walking distance to food, public transport, health resources, and (for as long as there isn't UBI) employment resources for them? How do we get them what they need to keep the place from falling apart around them, losing their home again?
How do we get people what they need, when they need it? Scarcity is mainly a problem of logistics now.
There's a lot of failures of society, but very few are so simple to fix as "corpos stop being greedy". Maybe once upon a time they were, but we're going to need more on top of that now.
