A society where just stating this is called trolling is such a sad society. I pity you and you brainwashed siblings.

They are not trolling. They are stating the simple, undeniable fact that there is more than enough to go around and if we had a more equitable distribution of resources, we could take care of everyone with disabilities 10x over with plenty to spare.

Have I said anything to the contrary?

You’re missing the point of the article and of the post. Why do you assume that someone who reads and takes breaks is unproductive? Should we get a second job instead? I spend 8 hours sleeping. Would you like me to work those hours as well? I spend some of my day cooking and cleaning and raising my son. Would you rather I keep working instead?

Maybe it’s time that we worked together to gain that time back for you instead of you fighting for us to lose our free time.

Switzerland got its wealth predominantly by shielding money stolen from around the entire world. I'm glad US ended that carnival of happiness to a large degree in 2009.

We have enough medication. People not being able to afford it has little to do with whether or not we have (or could easily make) an excess.

Insulin costs ~3 USD to make per vial. People not being able to afford ~30 USD insulin is not because we have too little medication. It's because there are leeches all over the healthcare system.

And if you genuinely cannot afford it, you should get it for free, as part of a proper healthcare system, which the US famously lacks.

The other commentor mentioned food and clothes to you. I'll add that I can get food for free locally (soup kitchen style, although I don't think they actually serve soup) if I really need it.

Around 10% of houses in the US are vacant, although I'm sure a fair amount are that for good reasons (shitty locations, old and worn to high hell). This to me sounds like a resource allocation problem and not a lack-of-resources problem.

Energy could be free close to free if we made the right choices. The sun's right there. Unfortunately, we've been stuck in a political rut for a long while, making long term projects like 'do something about global warming' and 'transition away from fossil fuels' uninteresting.

Many medicines are only expensive due to patents and making up for research costs. Actual production is usually cheap as hell.

I don't have all the answers. People smarter than me might have them. But I do know that we can do better.

By the fact medicine has an expiration date on the bottle. You can have so much of it you don't have the chance to use it all before it expires.

In the US, it can be measured by the overstocked food that gets discarded everyday, and by the houses that are vacant nine months a year.

The world produces so much excess food we pay farmers not to grow it and fast fashion brands burn unsold merchandise in the desert.
