Those seem incompatible to me.

(UBI means Universal Basic Income, giving everyone a basic income, for free)

      If you don’t have funds to buy resources then that seems to be accurate scarcity no?

        The point is that there is no actual scarcity as in “we don’t have the resources”. We do have the resources, they’re just distributed in a way that is profoundly unfair.

          Sorta like nature. There’s calories aplenty to be had. They’re just protected by other organisms that don’t want to give them up.

          So even in nature, the scarcity is artificial.

          It’s been demonstrated repeatedly that markets distribute goods better than centralized control systems, every time.

          When centralized control is seized, people start lacking. When the control of food is seized centrally, people starve.
