MODERATORS
That is not true. That is the Zero Sum Game Theory they're playing where one party takes all. What we need is to think more along the lines of Positive Sum, where all parties can win. Otherwise we're just perpetuating a cycle of false scarcity and hoarding.
The problem is that the sum is positive, limited (with changing limits), and unknown. Everyone can benefit, but you can't have everyone do better you still get everything you could possibly want. But you can get everything you could possibly want by keeping others from having enough, and since you can't know the limit you can't easily be held accountable
