I do think that an equitable world would mean far less treats for individual Americans and some of them might be mad about that, but I don't necessarily think that it would have to mean a worse lifestyle, just a different one.

You'd save a lot of resources just getting rid of planned obsolescence and encouraging what I'm going to call "communal treats" where the cost of say, a movie theater, can be spread across a huge population in a way that you can't with like, an iPad or a huge collection of worthless vinyl statuettes, and engaging in community events is probably way better for us psychologically anyways.

Like if the average household's Funko Pop budget shrinks by 99.95% does that actually make their life worse?
