Oh yeah apartment rentals/living in a vehicle are known worldwide for their spacious cabinets for pots, pans, cups, dishes, bowls, mugs, knives, forks, spatulas, spoons for eating and cooking, cutting boards, flour, sugar, yeast, oven mitts, thermometers, and sinks to clean up and counter space to cook and dry all that is needed for "learning to cook."
Yes let me just grow all the food I need and raise a cow for milk and a sheep to get wool for making my own clothes on my 4'x8' balcony at my one bedroom apartment.
Not all of us, and I'd argue very few of us proportionally speaking, have all kinds of land to be able to do shit like that. Check your privilege, dude
I might have misunderstood the context. I took OPs post to mean the sandwich will eventually become 15 dollars, not that they are currently. So I took the post I replied to as indifferent to that future suffering. Was I mistaken?
Honestly, yes. We need to learn how to make do with less. We can indulge when times are good, but some people just splurge in good times instead of saving and struggle to make do in bad times.
How much less though? Would you still be ok than less than the bare minimum to survive? How about at the bare minimum to survive? How long should we be put at that level?
I ask because most suffering today is caused by decisions made by people in power, not natural cycles.
