Scarcity For Real Or There Is Too Little

Today's blog is cynical. Today's blog is pessimistic. Today's blog is an economics lesson on supply and demand. There are too many people needing goods and services. There is not enough goods and services to satisfy everyone. Prices rise for medical insurance, homes, rents, food, energy, and higher education. Welcome to capitalism.

Nobody complains. We want growth. We want a longer life span. We want technology. Welcome to the Information Age. Cities become denser because there are more people. More people demand goods and services. Prices rise. The size of the pie remains the same size. There are too many people competing for too few opportunities. More people are screwed. More people are victims of circumstances. The government raises taxes because the government needs more money to meet the demands for government goods and services. Blame the system.

24 Hours A Day

There is one constant from past generations to today's generation. The constant is 24 hours a day. More money, more time, more work, more costs, more training, more experience, and more education are required to complete responsibilities, projects, events, goals, and successes. They're life in the Information Age. There is too much to do. A rising tide raises all boats.

Many people are trying. Many people are working hard. Many people are not lazy. Many people are not stupid. Unfortunately, more time and more money are required to be independent. The Information Age makes life harder. Anyone with good fortunes, minimize struggling, and financial support must not complain.
