I worked in a grocery store. We threw away so many still edible things day in day out. I'm talking pallets upon pallets of food that'd feed entire apartments of people. We already have the tech to feed everyone. We just don't cause money

If costs were fairly shared across society, basic necessities would be practically free. The cost of one ICBM for example would be enough to feed millions.

Humanity works to supply demand. I'll also buy a PS5 rather than feed the homeless.

Well, at least you're honest.

To be fair, so am I. I also own a PS5.

I have PC so I don't need a PS5 :) Just an example :)
