    You could double everything in this post too and that’s only 60% consumption.

    • 20 m² of personal living space + 20 m² for every 2 ppl as bathroom / kitchen
    • 4200 kcal/day
    • 2800 kWh/year, but this already includes public services (education/healthcare)
    • 1 washing machine per 10 ppl
    • 2.4 kg clothing / 6 months
    • wear tops for 1.5 days and bottoms for 7.5 days without washing
    • 1 laptop per 2 people with a yearly power consumption of 62 kWh. (bizzarely they talk about an 800 MHz computer and seem to confuse HDD and RAM). If your gaming computer used 400 W you could use it for 300 hr/year.

    That seems a lot more reasonable to me and we still come in under carrying capacity










  • We actually did, his name was Franklin D. Roosevelt.

    Sure if we hold him up to today’s standards not a progressive by any means, but he campaigned on working class issues and helped steer the country out of the depression. He created virtually all our modern safety nets or their predecessors.

    He was so popular a president that Congress amended the constitution to ensure no other president could have more than 2 terms. He was so popular congress was afraid it threatened the power of their branch of government.

    Running on and actually accomplishing worker centric policy works.

    And to fend of the inevitable yes he was not that progressive by today’s measures and had a mountain of flaws. But his accomplishments were revolutionary for the country in his time.
