    Ok, so you’re taking about the 1% hording all the wealth. I guess you’re right. I remember some study listing what every person on earth could have in a sustainable world and it covered all the basic needs and more. For me the original tweet sounded like “people spend all their money on rent so with free housing they wouldn’t have to work” which ignores all the other needs I listed.

      George Jetson only worked 2 hours a week, and he could support a family of four plus a robot maid. Today’s families have two people working two jobs with the same hours as 100 years ago, and they can’t afford to buy a house.
