That is why they should teach everyone basic statistics and probability and give them the data and explain to them how much worse life is on average in the "making it big" setting vs a more equal distribution of resources. Sure maybe without the drive to be a world dominating online shopping platform, we wont have a service like Amazon but Amazon is not a necessity it is just a habit which one can live without easily. I would take cheap and good quality housing vs amazon any day. And also with people having more time to spend in their hobbies, I am sure there will be a lot of open source innovations which will be just as useful as amazon.
90% of the things everyone insists is only possible under individualistic capitalism suck balls anyways, domestic services here in sweden are significantly less shit than amazon.
yeah i can't buy a neon green spandex flamingo but why the fuck would i? and i can instead have something actually useful delivered within 3 days usually, at a fair price, without warehouse personnel being forced to piss in bottles.
Wow you're never going to make it big thinking like that /s
