On the other hand, if everyone in the world had your lifestyle the world would be much more wealthy and could make a lot of positive changes.
I think the answer is yes.
Amazon is very much not a monopoly. There are thousands of online retailers. There are also a lot of delivery services, no idea if there are thousands, but there’s a lot.
That’s kind of true in some parts of the US, indirectly. Some places criminalize not being homeless but all the things that are the result of being homeless like sleeping outside or in public places. But there are a lot of places in the US that do provide for the homeless. New York City has a right to housing provision, for example.

I know in the US, if we taxed 100% of all US billionaire wealth, dropping their and their companies’ productivity to zero, you could fund the federal government for only like 7 months. You’d squander tons of production for comparatively little gain. The problem isn’t that we don’t tax the rich enough, the problem is that we waste money left and right.
The information is out there if you wanna find it. The truth is most people don’t care, though. That’s on us.
