Yeah I’ve read it before and 60m2 living space for 4 people is tiny, the clothing allocation is on the low end depending on work and climate and you didn’t include the number of times per week they say a person would shower… which was 2 times.
The water allocated really doesn’t go as far as you’d think. Most efficient showers are 9L/minute. Then you have your drinking water, clothes washing, food prep, cleaning, dishwashing… plants, pets. 50L doesn’t go far.
100kg of clothes washing a year is disgustingly low btw
Yeah 60m2 is absolutely tiny for a whole family
You say “only 30%” like wars haven’t been fought over that level of taxation.
This would be a serious decline in living standards for the people actually doing all the production.
"The people doing the production." Which ones are those? The ones mining resources for far less than this amount? The people living well above this standard are largely doing it off the back of exploiting people living far below this standard.
The most productive people are the ones living in countries with much higher standards of living than what is put forward here.
I’m thrilled you picked miners as an example because Australian miners produce far higher output than those in poor nations.
You might counter with the fact that it’s just machinery and more modern mining practices that makes them vastly more productive but that is exactly the point.
The poorer countries don’t have these tools because they lack good policies, stability and economic freedom (which not murican freedom).
It is simple, no farmer, miner or factory worker in a wealthy nation will want to give up 30% of their output.
