I keep saying this to friends whenever we debate capitalism and socialism.
If every human on the planet was given enough food, shelter, health care, and a full education for the first 20 years of their lives … we’d probably cure most diseases, eliminate most or all cancers, bring global warming under control, build entirely new technologies for just about everything and start inhabiting space.
Instead we have about 2,000 billionaires who use their wealth and power to not allow anyone to do anything, about a billion people barely getting by and seven billion with hardly anything at all. And we wonder why our world is falling apart.
