Exactly!!! Resource scarcity are an problem that all governments face, even those like mine (Brazil) where natural resource are quite abundant... its impossible produce everything that we consumE.

The curious thing is that this logic is applied to several other resources, such as time, people's attention and evencredibility... economies prioritize those who pay the most, socialists distribute (as you rightly said), but neither can solve the problem but only manage it.

And you know that not all scarcity is bad, right? For example... In a few years, we will have this same "problem" with the Bitcoin, which has a limited supply of 21 million... demand will grow even more, and we'll have to "fight" for this resource.

I think the real problem was never the end of scarcity, but rather how to learn to deal with it in a way that is less unequal and more sustainable... whether in natural resources, industrialized resources or anything else.
