A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

We've already reached post scarcity. Any current scarcity is manufactured.
If you don't have funds to buy resources then that seems to be accurate scarcity no?
The point is that there is no actual scarcity as in "we don't have the resources". We do have the resources, they're just distributed in a way that is profoundly unfair.
That's a matter of access, not whether a sufficient amount of resources exist.
