Most people in developed countries are well above poverty. According to one study[0], 99% of Americans have at least one streaming subscription.

In Europe most people get healthcare free at the point of use.

We easily produce what we need and could probably go completely sustainable if people weren't addicted to working and making more stuff. How do we make sustainability as satisfying as building?
