Love this is what we spend our resources on while children go without food, water, electricity, education, and shelter.
You could say the same thing about posting on Lemmy. Or a new game in your favorite RPG series coming out. Or Starbucks' newest coffee flavor. Or any number of other comforts.
This is the "don't be depressed, starving children in Africa have it worse" kind of argument. Please don't.
Despite what the GOP would have you believe, The US and EU have actually achieved post-scarcity, China is close. You should be fighting for post-inequality because that is what is holding back the rest of the world, as well as millions of citizens of the US and EU.
The people who designed this were paid to design this. I presume that at least some of them have children. Therefore, resources spent to invent this did go to give children food, water, shelter, etc.
You're welcome.
HRRRRRR
You okay there?
Capitalists doing capitalist shit.
Of course they aren't ok. They may think they are, but they are having to recognize that while the system may have worked for them, and me, it certainly doesn't for most people and they can't handle that.
My god, go back to lemmygrad.
