@HumanProgress In 2024 in Venezuela, it still takes longer than 35 hours, being the minimum wage around $ 3.5 a month. With bonuses, it might reach some 50 bucks. Socialism sucks
The real progress. This is the gift of freedom of action in a market based economic order. Both pre-capitalist and socialist economic orders failed to ensure even basic needs.

@HumanProgress Most people fail to understand the massive anount of energy hitting our planet every day. Its a resource that gets converted into plant and animal life, which is then consumed as everything from meat to cooking oil to paper. They also fail to understand that our oceans…
In 1991, my 7th grade science textbook said we'd be out of natural gas by 1999. Since then, gas consumption has increased dramatically, but there's now enough natural gas to last 120 more years (and likely much longer). The solution to scarcity is always freedom and innovation.
