Labor has not conquered scarcity. Dear lord.
It actually has. The U.S. produces enough food to feed the entire world three times over. It's a matter of distribution and no one is going to invest in that because it's not profitable. .
We grow enough corn to feed the whole world and then some, but we use it to feed cows and chicken in inhumane enviroments for "better food".
Not a vegetarian or anything, just pointing out the awful nature of the meat industry
I generally agree, but the industrial corn grown in the us actually isnt really all that edible. Like yes, you can eat it, but it tastes like sawdust. It was grown specifically to be processed.

Just because there's a lot of it doesn't mean it isn't scarce
Please expand
This is essentially the "anything finite is scarce" argument. Since there isn't an actually unlimited amount of food available it's still scarce even if there's more of it than humans can use.
But that doesn't make sense in this context.
Say, why don't you take your hair-splitting somewhere else? Preferably a place that allows you to comfortly fuck yourself as well?
That's exactly what that means, "more than enough" is the opposite of scarce.
