G20 nations triple coal power subsidies despite climate crisis
I think the bigger problem is that everyone wants certain kind of lifestyle of which they are inspired from Instagram&#x2F;youtubers<p>Even if there was no Instagram or YouTube, we&#x27;ll still have companies bringing American product to local market and promising better life tho this is amplified exponentially through social media now.<p>But we must ask ourselves, how many people sporting millionaire lifestyle can this earth take?<p>No matter where I go, every student is reading the art of hustle, rich dad poor dad, fake it till you make it, dreaming of renting ferraris, living in vilas and jet setting everywhere around the globe, buying whatever they want whenever they want to do some cool thing similar to fidget spinner.<p>Now, as India and China are growing coming online, everyone there is also inspired by American habits, look at the 3d printing channels, so many channels from developing countries are copying their American counterparts and printing so much ABS&#x2F;PETG. Now this is simply an example.<p>It&#x27;s human tendency to copy those who you think are better than you in your limited worldview. It is justified in mind easily.<p>So we must ask, can this planet afford everyone to live like an American millionaire?<p>Edit: Downvotes are raining on me. I am not against America or India or even china, you can replace them with any developed - developing country pair.<p>I am simply saying at present, planet can&#x27;t ensure same lifestyle for everyone without destroying itself. Yes, with technological advancement and political will, it will be possible in future, but are we forgetting the article we are commenting on.
