> If the whole world's population used resources at the rate that the US population does

Why would the US's wasteful use of resources be the benchmark for "sufficiency"?

There's enough food to feed the world, and enough raw materials to produce the things we need. The problem is not scarcity of resources, it's distribution of resources.

i think we are post scarcity in the sense of there is enough food, medical supplys, housing and smartphones for the whole world but 90% of the resources go to the "west" or are burned at place
