        If I had to superimpose my feelings on top of this, I’d increase dwelling area to 80 sqm and laptops/computers to 2 per household. 🥲

    It’s a no-brainer, if a person’s income were limited in such a way as to allow him a comfortable and comfortable life, there would be enough to provide this life for all humans. El problema son este 1% de assholes avariciosos que disponen de un 50% de toda la riquezas del mundo y queson los mismos que influyen o son los que hacen los leyes para protegerse.
