You mad?

Yes, to support everyone on what our economy outputs today will involve the quality of life decreasing for a lot of people. And the economy will have to change, to build the things that people need but are currently unable to pay for. This is unsurprising.

Probably the living space is more to show this is feasible over it being the expected/desired solution. It would be very counterproductive to tear down good houses, but small apartments work well for "house single unhoused people".

Rural transport is a rounding error compared to the number of private cars that could be converted with minimal fuss in cities.

Why would an export economy be a bad model? They literally have a surplus; all you need to do to fix it is.... Make less?

They’re not mad, they’re just a bad person. Don’t use empathy in argument with someone who has none.

Also, those numbers are like averages. Some places would have high rises to accommodate the sheer numbers of people, working or non-working.

But yeah, I’d tear down my own fucking home right meow if it was for equality on a massive scale.

Definitely use empathy on someone who has none. That's how they practice.

Even seeing somebody else do it neurologically strengthens those circuits in the brain. This is the actual front line, the human brain, and saying not to USE EMPATHY ON PEOPLE WHO HAVE NONE is a command to retreat in the very moment it is your turn to act.
