We have the technological means to provide a comfortable and luxurious life for every American on a 3 day workweek, if only we taxed the wealthy more and abolished inefficient scam institutions (like private health insurance)

i agree, though for that to be any sort of sustainable we’d need to cut down on our consumption by a lot. the materials and labor that allow us to live luxurious lives comes from somewhere. our luxury shouldn’t come at the cost of the continued exploitation of others.
