limited resources on Earth
That is also what we are all led to believe. If wealth were equally distributed to everyone, everywhere … there would be more than enough food, water and shelter for every living being on the planet. It’s not that the resources are running out, it has more to do with how our economy, wealth and control is distributed. The resources and wealth are held by a few people while everyone else goes without.
Which is the basis of the quote … “Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.”
We have people like the Joker who give us philosophical questions about our civilization but we’ve yet to see a billionaire use their infinite money and resources to dress up in a suit and mask, fight crime and build a fancy car or jet with exotic weapons to fight real life villains.
