I keep wondering if we have reached or are on the cusp of a post-scarcity society.

Scarcity isn't just about how much stuff there is, it's also about how much access people have to stuff. So no, we sadly haven't got there yet in my opinion

No I agree with the logistics of it. I meant to say the manufacturing and agricultural capacity we already have seems like more than enough.

Oh yeah, almost certainly. Apparently 1/3rd of food produced globally is wasted.

TitleI volunteer with a food suplus redistribution organisation and that's the figure we use so although I don't have a specific source, I'm inclined to believe it
